Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) can cause uncomfortable symptoms like pain, numbness, and tingling in your hand and fingers. This occurs when the median nerve in your wrist becomes compressed, affecting your daily activities.
We understand how these symptoms can impact your quality of life, and we’re dedicated to providing compassionate care and effective treatment. If non-surgical options haven’t provided sufficient relief, our consultants may recommend a carpal tunnel release procedure.
Here’s what the procedure entails:
Comprehensive Evaluation: You’ll meet with our experienced and compassionate consultants for a thorough examination and to discuss your treatment options. We’ll ensure you understand every step of the process.
Pain-Free Procedure: We’ll use anaesthesia to ensure you’re comfortable and pain-free during the procedure.
Precise Release: Our surgeons will make a small incision on your wrist and carefully release the pressure on the median nerve by creating a small opening in the ligament of the carpal tunnel.
Guided Recovery: After surgery, we’ll monitor your progress and provide pain management. We’ll also guide you through exercises and physical therapy to help you regain full use of your hand and wrist.
Recovery times vary, and we’ll personalise your recovery plan to your individual needs. We offer both open and endoscopic surgical approaches.
If you’re experiencing carpal tunnel syndrome symptoms, schedule your consultation at Parkside Private Suite, Heatherwood Hospital today. We’re here to provide you with the care and support you need to regain your hand’s functionality. You can also see our dedicated Orthopaedic – Hand & Wrist Consultants below.
