-
Carpal tunnel syndrome affects approximately 3-6% of the adult population in Australia.
Certain occupational groups are more prone to this condition, especially those who engage in repetitive hand movements or use vibrating tools.
Women are also more likely to experience carpal tunnel syndrome, with higher prevalence rates observed during pregnancy and menopause.
-
In the early stages, carpal tunnel syndrome may cause compression, leading to discomfort, tingling, and altered sensations in the thumb, index finger, middle finger, and the side of the ring finger closest to the thumb.
As the condition progresses, patients often experience pain and pins-and-needles sensations during sleep, along with clumsiness and weakness in the fingers and thumb. If left untreated, the symptoms can worsen, potentially resulting in constant pain and weakness. In severe cases, prolonged compression can lead to permanent damage to the median nerve.

Our micro-invasive procedure involves carefully releasing the transverse ligament in the carpal tunnel using a specialized tool, guided by advanced imaging technology.
This technique minimizes damage to surrounding tissues and gently relieves the pressure on the median nerve, which causes the symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome.
The procedure is stitch-free, performed as a walk-in, walk-out service, and does not require general anaesthesia.

After a carpal tunnel release, you can typically return to work the very next day.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Carpal tunnel syndrome affects around 3-6% of the adult population in Australia. It is more common in certain occupational groups, such as those who perform repetitive hand movements or work with vibrating tools. Additionally, it tends to be more prevalent among women, particularly during pregnancy and menopause.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome arises as a nerve entrapment condition resulting from the compression of the median nerve at the wrist. This crucial nerve travels through a tight channel known as the carpal tunnel where the forearm meets the hand.
The compression often leads to discomfort, tingling, and altered sensations in the thumb, index finger, middle finger, and the side of the ring finger closest to the thumb.
