Treatment For Numbness & Tingling In Arms, Hands & Fingers

Dr. Garcia has received special training in the Connecticut Combined Hand Surgery Fellowship, along with Board Certification by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. This allows him to offer skilled assessments and surgical options to improve functionality for a variety of hand, wrist and elbow conditions, as well as plastic surgery options to improve appearance.

Numbness refers to the loss of sensation in one or both hands and can be caused by a number of factors. It is most often caused by the branch of nerves traveling to the arms, hands, or fingers becoming compressed. Numbness can often be accompanied by tingling, burning, weakness, or pain, and may signal the onset of a number of conditions, some of which may be serious.

If you experience any form of numbness or tingling in the hands, wrist or arms, Dr. Garcia will personally evaluate you to help determine the cause and offer suggestions to resolve the problem. Treatment options may be surgical, non-surgical or a combination of both.

Some Risk Factors for Numbness in the Hands Include (but may not be limited to):

Carpal tunnel syndrome
Type 2 Diabetes
Ganglion cysts
Guillain-Barre syndrome
Lyme Disease
Syndromes of the nervous system
Peripheral neuropathy
Stroke
