Dr. Weber

Treating and Rehabbing Sports and Joint Injuries

While it might seem that weakness, the loss of function or the loss of feeling in your arm or hand is a condition born from the normal consequences of aging, the culprit may actually be the result of a pinched nerve. Lawrence Weber, MD, PhD, an orthopedic surgeon and hand and upper extremity specialist on staff at Memorial Hospital, discusses possible treatment options for carpal tunnel syndrome, cubital tunnel syndrome, and radial tunnel syndrome— compression neuropathies of the upper extremity.
