Learn More About Carpal Tunnel Release with Ultrasound Guidance
Carpal tunnel syndrome is a common condition that can cause hand pain, numbness, tingling & weakness. There are different ways to surgically treat carpal tunnel syndrome. Dr. Moore specializes in carpal tunnel release with ultrasound guidance, which is the most minimally invasive way to treat carpal tunnel syndrome.
Learn About Diagnostic & Therapeutic
Ultrasound-Guided Injections with Dr. Moore
Injections can be a useful tool to both determine the cause a person’s pain & to treat that pain. KCOA’s Dr. Brit Moore specializes in ultrasound guided injections. Using ultrasound to guide the injection ensures the needle is placed in the most accurate location so that you can get the best result from that injection.
Learn about Nerve Pathology
& Management with Dr. Moore
Nerve damage can cause pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness. An important part of treating nerve damage is knowing what is damaged and how severe is the damage. Dr. Brit Moore specializes in performing tests like diagnostic ultrasound, electromyograms, and nerve conduction studies that can pinpoint nerve abnormalities like carpal tunnel syndrome, cubital tunnel syndrome, and pinched nerves.
Learn more about Dr. Moore
Dr, Brit Moore is a board-certified physical medicine & rehabilitation physician with subspecialty training in sports medicine & musculoskeletal ultrasound.
She sees a variety of conditions, from acute injuries while at play to chronic overuse injuries. She specializes in nonoperative management of upper and lower extremity tendon, ligament, muscle, joint and nerve injuries. Dr. Moore is fellowship trained in musculoskeletal ultrasound, utilizing this for both diagnostic evaluative purposes and to guide procedures. Additionally, she performs electrodiagnostic testing (EMG & nerve conduction studies) for evaluation of upper extremity nerve conditions.
As a leader in minimally invasive ultrasound guided surgery, Dr. Moore was the first to bring carpal tunnel release with ultrasound guidance to Kansas & Missouri. Procedure Dr. Moore performs range from simple joint injections, to orthobiologic injections like platelet rich plasma & bone marrow concentrate, to advanced minimally invasive procedures like needle tenotomy & carpal tunnel release with ultrasound guidance.
After completing her residency & fellowship training at Mayo Clinic in Rochester Minnesota, Dr. Moore stayed on staff at Mayo Clinic Sports Department before eventually choosing to come back home to Kansas City to continue her practice.
