Dr. Mark Galland answered

Specializes in Orthopedic Surgery

Carpal Tunnel: There are multiple treatments for carpal tunnel syndrome, an unpredictable neurologic condition. Night splints, activity modification and injections are all conservative options, though surgical intervention may eventually be needed. An emg/nerve conduction study can help determine the severity of your cts.
