VALDOSTA — If you suffer from hand pain caused by carpal tunnel syndrome or trigger finger, there may be hope for relief. SGMC Health invites the community to a free screening and informational session at 5:30 p.m. April 10 to learn about advanced, minimally invasive treatment options.

Leading the session is Robert Kirtley, MD, interventional physiatry, who will discuss innovative procedures that use real-time ultrasound guidance to treat carpal tunnel syndrome and trigger finger. These cutting-edge approaches require no stitches or general anesthesia, allowing most patients to experience immediate improvement in motion and recover within days rather than months.

This free event is an opportunity to gain valuable insights into your hand health, ask questions, and explore treatment options that can restore comfort and function to your hands.

Spaces are limited, so early registration is encouraged. To reserve your spot, please visit www.sgmc.org/handscreening.
