Carpal Tunnel Injection in Montréal, Ottawa and Gatineau: Specialized Care for Nerve Compression
Carpal tunnel injections help relieve pain, numbness, and tingling caused by median nerve compression. Dr. Patrice Langlois provides expert care in Montréal, Ottawa and Gatineau.
Carpal tunnel syndrome is one of the most common peripheral nerve compression disorders, affecting patients across Montréal, Ottawa, and Gatineau. It occurs when the median nerve is compressed at the wrist, leading to numbness, tingling, pain, and in advanced cases, weakness of the hand.
When conservative treatments such as wrist splints, activity modification, or oral medications are insufficient, a carpal tunnel injection can provide effective relief. This procedure involves injecting an anti-inflammatory medication near the compressed nerve to reduce swelling and pressure.
Dr. Patrice Langlois is an anesthesiologist and chronic pain management physician with extensive experience treating peripheral nerve compression syndromes. Using precise anatomical knowledge and, when appropriate, ultrasound guidance, injections are performed with accuracy and safety.
For patients in Montréal, Ottawa, and Gatineau, carpal tunnel injections can reduce symptoms, improve hand function, and in some cases delay or avoid surgical intervention.
