Peripheral Nerve Surgery
Dr. Polin and a group of Neurologists work as a team with Physical Therapists and other caregivers to optimize the care given to our patients with problems involving the peripheral nervous system.
Prior to any treatment or surgery, Dr. Polin works with each patient to diagnose their problem using techniques that reflect the latest standard of care, including MRI, EMG, or nerve conduction studies.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Carpal tunnel syndrome is a common condition that causes pain, numbness, and tingling in the hand and arm. The condition occurs when one of the major nerves to the hand — the median nerve — is squeezed or compressed as it travels through the wrist.
Ulnar Nerve entrapment
Ulnar nerve entrapment occurs when the ulnar nerve in the arm becomes compressed or irritated, commonly behind the inside part of the elbow, or cubital tunnel.
