If you are an office worker, factory employee, driver, homemaker, or student in Bicol, Naga, Legazpi, or Camarines Sur experiencing persistent hand numbness, tingling, or weakness, you may have carpal tunnel syndrome. Carpal Tunnel Release is a surgical procedure that relieves pressure on the median nerve and restores hand function.
At Lao Orthopedic Clinic, we provide advanced Carpal Tunnel Release surgery for patients across Bicol, Naga City, Legazpi City, and Camarines Sur. Our focus is on accurate diagnosis, precise surgical technique, and guided recovery to help you return to work and daily activities safely.

Reduced grip strength affecting work or daily tasks.
Worsening symptoms during sleep.
