Do you have pain in your hand or wrist that is limiting your ability to function? A hand or wrist problem can cause numbness, tingling, weakness, and stiffness, making it difficult to write, type, drive, or even hold an object.

We see a lot of patients with hand, wrist, and forearm pain at South Florida Orthopedic Group (formerly known as Meli Orthopedic Centers of Excellence) in South Florida. In fact, carpal tunnel syndrome is one of the most common conditions we see and treat.

However, surgery is not always the best option for hand and upper extremity injuries. They can take a long time to heal, and the procedures necessary for treatment are very complex. Board-certified hand and upper extremity specialist Dr. Ayisha Livingstone offers many technologically advanced procedures, like endoscopic carpal tunnel surgery, which are far less invasive than traditional surgery. That means you will heal and regain function faster. We also perform reconstructive hand surgery and wrist fusion.
