Unlike traditional Carpal Tunnel surgery, with modern imaging it is now possible to perform the procedure as a micro-invasive technique guided by ultrasound imaging.
This differs from the traditional surgical approach in that it is scalpel-free, carries less risk of adverse effects and leads to far shorter recovery time.

3-6% of the adult population in Australia is affected by carpal tunnel syndrome.
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.
Early symptoms can include compression, which 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.
As symptoms worsen patients often get pain and pins-and-needles pins and needles during sleep, together with clumsiness and weakness of the fingers and thumb. If symptoms progress it can result in constant pain and weakness, and without treatment the median nerve can be permanently damaged.
In this case you can call or book an appointment online for an initial consultation. During our consultation we will help you diagnose what you are suffering from and give you advice for what to do next.
The micro-invasive procedure involves gently releasing the transverse ligament in the carpal tunnel, using a special tool guided by modern imaging technology.
This technique causes very little harm to the surrounding tissue and gently releases the pressure on the median nerve in the wrist which causes the symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome.
No stitches are required and the procedure is performed as a walk-in / walk-out service with no general anaesthetic needed.
With a microinvasive carpal tunnel release, recovery is fast, with many people returning to work in the first 1 or 2 days after the procedure
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.
As symptoms worsen patients often get pain and pins-and-needles during sleep, together with clumsiness and weakness of the fingers and thumb. If symptoms progress it can result in constant pain and weakness and without treatment the median nerve can be permanently damaged.
