Carpal tunnel treatment is a surgery that can relieve the symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome. Carpal tunnel syndrome is a common condition that can happen when the carpal tunnel (narrow passageway inside your wrist) swells. This can cause aches in your fingers and hands, along with numbness, pins and needles, and difficulty gripping.
The surgery can be done as an outpatient procedure, so you’ll be able to go home the same day. Your surgeon will begin by numbing your wrist with a local anaesthetic injection to minimise any pain. An incision is then made in your hand, and the ligament around the carpal tunnel is cut. This increases the size of the tunnel and therefore reduces pressure on the nerve. Your incision is then closed with stitches.
If you suffer from carpal tunnel syndrome, you might find simple tasks like gripping and pointing painful. The pressure on the nerves and ligaments of your wrist can cause pain and discomfort, which carpal tunnel surgery can relieve. The benefits of this procedure include:
