Boston Carpel Tunnel

BSBortho is a Boston-area orthopedic practice providing information and care for people with carpal tunnel syndrome. Its website introduces Dr. Walter Sussman and Dr.

Erek Latzka and explains how compression of the median nerve in the wrist can cause numbness, tingling, pain, and weakness in the hand. The practice offers evaluation and diagnostic support, including clinical assessment, office-coordinated electromyography and nerve conduction studies, and diagnostic ultrasound. Its approach emphasizes conservative care when appropriate, with options such as wrist bracing, activity modification, ergonomic adjustments, anti-inflammatory medication, corticosteroid injections, ultrasound-guided nerve hydrodissection, and platelet-rich plasma injections.

For severe symptoms or cases that do not improve with nonsurgical treatment, the practice also describes surgical carpal tunnel release options, including open, endoscopic, and ultrasound-guided techniques. The site provides educational resources about symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment, alongside patient information such as new-patient guidance, FAQs, policies, portal access, billing, and directions.
