What is Cubital Tunnel Syndrome?
Are you experiencing numbness or tingling in your pinky and ring fingers? You might be dealing with Cubital Tunnel Syndrome. This common condition occurs when the ulnar nerve, which runs through the inside of your elbow (the “funny bone” spot), becomes compressed or irritated.

Symptoms include:
→ Numbness and tingling in the pinky and ring fingers
→ Pain in the elbow, especially when bent
→ Hand grip weakness

Common causes include putting pressure on your elbows or keeping your elbows bent for long periods of time.

If you’re experiencing these symptoms, don’t ignore them. Persistent nerve compression can lead to permanent nerve damage. Niche Hand Surgery and Orthopedics offers a range of effective treatment options to help you regain comfort and function.
