Tingling, numbness and weakness in the hand are often signs of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome — a condition where the median nerve (the nerve supplying sensation to the thumb and two fingers) gets compressed in the wrist. This can make simple daily tasks like holding a phone, driving, or typing painful and difficult. Over time, grip strength may reduce and fingers can feel clumsy or weak.

The condition needs a thorough clinical examination and assessment before treating, as there is a lot of cross over with other conditions.

When splints, rest, and activity changes do not provide relief, a Carpal Tunnel Release procedure helps by reducing pressure on the nerve. The surgery is usually quick, often performed under local anesthesia. A splint or light dressing protects the wrist, and simple finger and wrist exercises help restore strength and function.

If you are struggling with tingling and numbness in the hand do not ignore it anymore! As delayed treatment can leave permanent weakness. Let us help you get back to doing what you love!

Severe, persistent shoulder pain and poor mobility can signal it’s time for a shoulder replacement.

According to Dr. Deepthi Nandan Reddy, a leading Shoulder, Elbow & Hand Surgeon, this procedure is usually recommended when the joint is severely damaged — often due to osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, massive rotator cuff tears, or traumatic injuries — and when non-surgical treatments like medicines, physical therapy, or injections no longer provide relief. In such cases, replacing the damaged joint can restore better motion, reduce pain, and improve quality of life.

If you are struggling with chronic shoulder pain or stiffness that is limiting your daily life, don’t ignore! Let us help you get back to doing what you love!

Struggling with nagging pain but not sure if it’s from your neck or your shoulder? You’re not alone — many people face the same confusion. Getting the diagnosis right is crucial for quick and lasting relief.

💡 Spot the Difference:
• Neck-related pain often radiates to your arm, causes tingling or numbness, and worsens when you turn your head.
• Shoulder-related pain stays around the joint, feels dull or aching, and increases when you lift or move your arm.
• Restricted shoulder movement usually signals a shoulder issue, while nerve symptoms ((numbness, weakness) often point to the neck.

Accurate diagnosis matters — treating the wrong area can delay relief or worsen the issue. If you are unsure where your pain is coming from, get in touch with a Shoulder and Hand Surgeon for an accurate diagnosis and treatment.

4 Must-Follow Tips to Protect Your Shoulders During Weightlifting!

Your shoulders are one of the most important – and most injury-prone – joints in the gym.

Dr. Deepthi Nandan Reddy, a highly experienced Shoulder, Elbow and Hand Surgeon shares simple yet powerful tips on protecting your shoulders at gym:

1.Warm Up Properly:
Start every session with gentle stretches and mobility exercises. A good warm-up boosts blood flow, loosens tight muscles, and prepares your shoulders for lifting.

2.Perfect Your Technique:
Incorrect form is a major cause of shoulder pain. Learn and maintain proper lifting techniques for each exercise to keep your shoulders safe.

3.Increase Weights Gradually:
Avoid sudden jumps in weight. Progressively overloading your muscles helps build strength without straining the shoulder joint.

4.Strengthen Your Shoulders Consistently:
Include regular shoulder-strengthening and stability exercises in your routine. Strong, balanced muscles protect your joints and enhance performance.

Take care of your shoulders now to enjoy pain-free workouts and long-term gym success!

Reaching for a high shelf, lifting a bag, or even the simple act of combing your hair should not be painful. But as we get older, our shoulders can lose the flexibility and strength that help us do these things easily. Our modern lifestyle, with long hours at a desk or travelling, can often make this problem worse.

The good news is that taking small steps now can make a big difference. By making these simple habits a part of your daily routine, you can protect your shoulder health for years to come.

- Move Daily: Use simple exercises (shoulder rolls, arm raises, resistance bands) to maintain strength and flexibility at home.
- A physiotherapist can teach you the right posture and movements to prevent strain.
- Watch Your Posture: Sit and stand straight, especially when at a desk, on your phone, or driving.
- Avoid Overload: Protect your shoulders by using the right technique to lift things. Avoid carrying very heavy or uneven loads.
- Act on Pain Early: Never ignore discomfort. Early treatment stops minor issues from becoming major problems.

If your shoulders feel stiff, weak, or painful, don’t ignore! Please feel free to reach out to us - Let us help you get back to doing what you love!

One of the biggest myths I frequently hear as an Orthopedic Surgeon is that Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is caused by typing or because of computer work! The truth? It’s much broader than that.

That nagging numbness or tingling sensation in your hand is actually from a compressed nerve in your wrist, which can result from many repetitive tasks—not just keyboard use!

Remember, ignoring the symptoms can lead to bigger problems and the good news is that effective treatments are available. In my recent video, I’ve discussed about:
• A simple explanation about what is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
• Why a proper diagnosis and evaluation are crucial
• An overview of both non-surgical and surgical treatment options for Carpal tunnel syndrome

A shoulder dislocation happens when the ball slips out of the socket and stays out — needing medical re-location. While this is painful, the bigger challenge often lies ahead: recurrent dislocations.

This risk is higher when there are tears in the front tissues, especially in athletes and sports enthusiasts. Each recurrence makes the joint weaker, more unstable, and increases the chances of long-term complications.

👉 That’s why timely evaluation and treatment by a shoulder Surgeon is crucial to restore stability, prevent further injury, and help you get back to your game with confidence.

Watch my latest reel to understand shoulder dislocation better and know why consulting a Shoulder Surgeon at the right time can make all the difference.

Did you know that there is a direct link between excessive smartphone use and hand pain?

Repetitive motions like swiping, tapping, and typing can lead to a condition called "texting thumb" or worsen existing issues like arthritis and carpal tunnel syndrome. It’s not just a minor ache; it can cause stiffness, numbness, and a significant loss of strength in your hands.

Conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome and cubital tunnel syndrome can be aggravated by holding your phone for long periods. These conditions cause pain, tingling, and weakness in your fingers and hands.

“Simple changes in how you hold your phone and taking frequent breaks can make a world of difference!”, says Dr. Deepthi Nandan Reddy, Shoulder and Hand Surgeon in Hyderabad.

If you are experiencing persistent hand pain, don’t ignore the signs. Let us help you get back to doing what you love!
