01

What is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?

Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when the median nerve, which runs through a narrow passage in your wrist, becomes compressed. This pressure causes symptoms such as pain, tingling, or numbness, often affecting the thumb, index and middle fingers. The condition is commonly seen in individuals who perform repetitive hand or wrist movements, and can worsen over time if left untreated. A carpal tunnel release procedure works by relieving this pressure, offering long-term symptom relief with minimal disruption to your daily routine.

02

Who is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome For?

This procedure is suitable for individuals experiencing persistent hand or wrist discomfort that has not improved with non-surgical options like wrist splints or steroid injections. Many patients find the symptoms interfering with work, sleep, or simple tasks such as holding a phone or gripping objects. Carpal tunnel release is particularly beneficial for those with nerve compression confirmed through diagnostic testing. During your consultation, our clinical team will assess your symptoms and history to determine if this treatment is right for you.

03

Benefits of Carpal Tunnel Surgery

Surgical treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome offers several lasting benefits. Most patients experience a marked reduction in numbness, tingling and pain shortly after the procedure. As swelling subsides and the nerve heals, normal sensation and grip strength are gradually restored. The procedure is quick and performed under local anaesthetic, allowing you to return home the same day. There are no stitches that require removal and visible scarring is minimal. Our focus is on ensuring a smooth recovery so you can regain confidence in your hand function.

04

Recovery Timeline

Recovery from carpal tunnel release is generally straightforward. You will be able to go home shortly after the procedure and light activities can typically be resumed within 2 to 5 days. Any swelling or mild discomfort should settle over the first week. Full grip strength and sensation may take several weeks to return, depending on the severity of preoperative symptoms. Our aftercare team will guide you through exercises and provide reassurance throughout your recovery journey.
