Contact UsAbout Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
The median nerve that travels from the spinal cord through the arm to serve the wrist and hand also travels through the carpal tunnel in the wrist. This space, created by ligaments and bone, can become narrowed by swelling or inflammation, putting pressure on the median nerve, which controls the movements in the hand and is connected to all of the fingers except the pinky. As symptoms progress, it can lead to muscle pain and cramping that runs from the hand up into the arm. At Pain Zero, our team utilizes top techniques to treat carpal tunnel syndrome and improve uncomfortable symptoms. Contact one of our offices in Central Ohio to schedule a consultation with one of our highly trained physicians.
How Is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Treated?
Relieving pressure on the median nerve may relieve some symptoms. Physical therapy and other exercises also help. Our office specializes in treating carpal tunnel syndrome with injections and perform carpal tunnel release with ultrasound guidance, which improves the imaging resolution as an incision is made in the palm to cut through the carpal tunnel ligament and relieve pressure on the median nerve. This innovative procedure can be done without anesthesia and virtually requires no downtime.
Pain Zero Reviews
This is my first visit it went pretty good I felt relaxed with them and it seemed like he truly really wanted to help me to get my pain in order and I'm looking forward to my next visit till I see I can see where we go next on handling my pain shook my hand very polite very good doctor
I've been coming here for 4 months now after trying to manage my back pain issues with every other treatment and medicine that my previous specialists offered from May 2022 until Nov 2023. In these 4 months I've had more improvement in mobility and pain relief than i did in all of 2022 and 2023. I've also seen a significant weight loss from being able to move better, cook my own food, and work again. Pain Zero also offer medicine when needed between procedures and more importantly they listen to the issues you're having and provide safe and effective pain relief. I wish I would have came here 2 years ago when my issues first started, but I'm thankful to have found a great doctor and pain management center now. Why I would suggest Pain Zero over a place that rhymes with Northo Oro for spine and neck issues through my personal experience. (Dr. C and his orthopedic team at "Northo Oro" are awesome!) I feel Dr Taif at Pain Zero listened to my issues and concerns with the pain and offered options he felt was best for me. I was very hesitant after many short lived & underwhelming procedures at the other places. Pain Zero offers all the same out patient surgical procedures as the bigger ortho centers. The difference in that is the big centers have around 30 people on staff and PZ has about 5. So the costs of the procedures are far less and you don't have an audience in the room either like the other place.
I really appreciate your patience and attendance that is shown with the full staff at this office. They are very attentive making sure to find out the cause of your need and I truly appreciate it.
Doctor Harris is very concerned about his patients he listens to what you have to say about your pain and health and gives very good advice on getting better
Fast efficient and with great care. Kind and respectful.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome FAQ
Can carpal tunnel syndrome affect both hands simultaneously?
Yes, carpal tunnel syndrome can affect both hands, although it commonly starts in one hand first—often the dominant one. Even if you're currently experiencing symptoms in only one hand, it's important to be vigilant and consult with a physician at Pain Zero if symptoms appear in the other hand.
Is the carpal tunnel release procedure safe for pregnant women?
While carpal tunnel symptoms often worsen during pregnancy due to fluid retention, the carpal tunnel release procedure is generally considered safe. However, in many cases, doctors at Pain Zero prefer to start with less invasive treatments like physical therapy or wrist splints, especially for pregnant patients. Always consult with your physician for personalized advice tailored to your situation.
What's the recovery time for ultrasound-guided carpal tunnel release?
One of the advantages of ultrasound-guided carpal tunnel release is that it virtually requires no downtime. Many patients experience immediate relief and can return to their normal activities shortly after the procedure. However, it's always best to consult your physician for personalized recovery guidelines.
