What is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is a nerve disorder aggravated by certain activities and pressures that are put on the wrists. Although carpal tunnel syndrome primarily affects the fingers and the hands, it can travel up your arms and shoulders.

Symptoms
• Tingling or numbness in the arm
• Dull aching in wrist up to elbow
• Stiffness in fingers
• Overall numbness anywhere in the arm

Causes
• Excessive use of fingers, hands, wrists and arms
• Constant repetitive motion (like typing)
• Secondary result of an arm or wrist injury

For treatment, schedule a consultation Dr. Justin S. Mitchell, orthopedic surgeon, to get an assessment of the severity of your Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.

Call The Precision Hand Surgery Center at Ortho El Paso at 915-249-4000 to schedule your appointment.

SHOULDER PAIN?
What most people call the shoulder is really several joints that combine with tendons and muscles to allow a wide range of motion in the arm — from scratching your back to taking the perfect golf swing to being able to do your daily chores. You may feel pain only when you move your shoulder…or all of the time. The pain may be temporary or it may continue and require medical diagnosis and treatment.

Ortho El Paso treats shoulder pain including:

o Tendon inflammation (bursitis or tendinitis) or tendon tear
o Instability
o Arthritis
o Fracture (broken bone): shoulder injury

Other much less common causes of shoulder pain are tumors, infection, and nerve-related problems.

Shoulder pain? Call board certified orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Jason Vourazeris, for an appointment at 915-249-4000.
