Meet Evelyn Beatty <br /> <br />She has been a patient of Dr. Haronian for about 2 years. She is extremely happy with her carpal tunnel surgery, her hand is fully functional now. Thanks to Dr. Haronian. <br /> <br />Visit our website at http://www.synapsedoctor.com <br /> <br />Also connect with us on our social media sites: <br /> <br />http://www.facebook.com/synapsemedicalgroup <br />http://www.twitter.com/synapsedoctor <br />http://www.instagram.com/synapsedoctor <br /> <br />#synapsedoctor <br /> <br />Carpal tunnel syndrome is a common condition that causes pain, numbness, and tingling in the hand and arm. The condition occurs when one of the major nerves to the hand — the median nerve — is squeezed or compressed as it travels through the wrist. <br /> <br />In most patients, carpal tunnel syndrome gets worse over time, so early diagnosis and treatment are important. Early on, symptoms can often be relieved with simple measures like wearing a wrist splint or avoiding certain activities. <br /> <br />If pressure on the median nerve continues, however, it can lead to nerve damage and worsening symptoms. To prevent permanent damage, surgery to take pressure off the median nerve may be recommended for some patients. <br /> <br />During open carpal tunnel release surgery , the transverse carpal ligament is cut, which releases pressure on the median nerve and relieves the symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome. An incision is made at the base of the palm of the hand. This allows the doctor to see the transverse carpal ligament. <br /> <br />We are located at: <br /> <br />5651 Sepulveda Blvd. Suite 201 <br />Sherman Oaks, CA 91411
