Specialized expertise provides critical help for hand injuries:
One of the results of modern technology
is an increase in the repetitive motion of the hands, particularly for
those work extensively
with computers. Repetitive
motion can result in a painful condition of the hands called "carpal tunnel
syndrome" (CTS). CTS can not only make it difficult to work, but also painful
to hold a tennis racquet or swing a golf club. Using a minimally-invasive arthroscopic
procedure, Dr. Meyers can correct CTS and restore pain-free function back to
your hands. The outpatient arthroscopic CTS technique leaves only a tiny scar
and can reduce "down time" to about a week. Dr. Meyers' has been
performing his arthroscopic procedure for over ten years. During that time,
he has helped
thousands of patients return to the activities they love. Ask today about Workers'
Comp coverage for your CTS procedure. The distinctions that have made our practice
