Nerve Compression Syndrome Melbourne

Nerve Compression Syndrome Melbourne

Nerve Compression Syndrome are treated by anti-inflammatory drugs, corticosteroids, or with surgical release performed by Dr Carmen Munteanu in Melbourne.

The nerves in the wrist which are susceptible to compression include:

• Medium nerve in the wrist
• Ulnar nerve at the elbow
• Radial nerve in the proximal forearm

If these nerves are compressed, it can cause carpel tunnel syndrome, cubital tunnel syndrome, as well as radial tunnel syndrome. Diagnosing compression syndromes can be completed by reviewing a patient’s history, medical history, as well as imaging techniques and nerve conduction studies.

Dr Carmen Munteanu is a specialist plastic surgeon and armlift expert. She provides dedicated and compassionate care to her patients who wish to undergo this surgery.

It causes numbness and tingling sensation in the ring finger and little finger, as well as severe elbow pain. If the condition is severe, patients may suffer weakness of muscles in the hand, a pinch between thumb and index finger and poor hand grip.
