I May Have Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, What Specialty Doctor Should I Consult With?


I did the Phalen’s Test (you should try it as well, it’s just a 60 second test) and I think I have Carpal Tunnel.

I have to schedule an appointment to a specific doctor to avail my HMO (not US), I just don’t know which specialty? (e.g. occupational therapy, physical therapy, gynecologist, pediatrician, etc.)

    You need to see an orthopedist. Call you insurance to see if you need a referral, because if not you’re just throwing money away going to your GP for them to tell you, “Yup, you need to see an orthopedist.”
