Carpal Tunnel Release treatment
at Skin & Bones
Carpal tunnel treatment at our Lancashire clinic
Carpal tunnel syndrome symptoms can be debilitating and significantly limit the function of the hand. Releasing the carpal tunnel can improve symptoms of pain and improve hand function. Traditionally this procedure is done with a surgical incision in theatre, which restricts the use of the hand for several weeks.
What happens at Carpal Tunnel treatment
At Skin and Bones Medical, we offer innovative incisionless carpal tunnel release. This minimally invasive approach uses a special needle under ultrasound guidance to release the carpal tunnel.
This has similar results to traditional surgery but allows you to use the hand for light duties almost immediately after the procedure. The procedure can also be done using only local anaesthetic in the comfort of a clinic. These factors make it an appealing choice for patients.
