Nerve entrapment is common, with the most common being entrapment of the median nerve, known as carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). Various other nerves can become entrapped in surrounding tissues as well.

When conservative measures for nerve entrapments fail they are often fixed with surgery.

We offer minimal-invasive alternatives to surgery for treatment of various nerve entrapments:

Diagnostic Ultrasonography

Diagnostic ultrasound is a tool that uses sound waves to visualize structures inside the body and can aid in the identification of entrapped nerves as well aid in hydrorelease of entraped nerves.

Electromyography (EMG)

Electromyography is a tool that measures muscle response to electrical stimulation which allows for the precise diagnosis and localization of nerve-related problems.

Nerve Hydrodissection

Nerve entrapment is common, the most common being entrapment of the median nerve, known as carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). Various other nerves can be entrapped and when conservative measures fail they are often fixed with surgery. Hydrodissection offers a non-surgical approach by utilizing fluid to release the nerve from surrounding tissue structures, reduce pain and restore function.

Perineural Therapy

Entrapped or irritated nerves can result in pro-inflammatory pathways (TRPV1, Substance P, calcitonin gene-related peptide) responsible for persistent pain that may affect the surrounding tissue environment or radiate pain to distant parts of the body. A variety of substances can be placed around these nerves and have been identified to inhibit these pathways and have neuro-regenerative properties.

If you have suffered from nerve pain for more than 6 weeks, conservative approaches haven’t helped, and are interested in discussing minimally invasive treatment, please call our office (269) 883-6052 or contact us to schedule a consultation.
