Ulnar Neuropathy: A Path to Better Understanding and Relief

Ulnar neuropathy is a condition caused by damage or irritation to the ulnar nerve, which runs along the inner arm and into the hand. This nerve plays a critical role in providing sensation to the ring and little fingers, as well as controlling the fine motor movements of the hand. Symptoms can include tingling, numbness, pain, or weakness in the affected areas, often worsening with repetitive arm motions or prolonged elbow bending.
