Carpal Tunnel Release Q & A
Carpal Tunnel Release (CTR) with Ultrasound Guidance
What is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is a common condition caused by compression of the median nerve as it travels through the wrist. Symptoms include numbness, tingling, weakness, and pain in the hand and wrist, often worsening with repetitive hand use or at night.
Carpal Tunnel Release with Ultrasound Guidance Procedure - Sonex Health
We also perform Ultrasound-Guided Carpal Tunnel Release (CTR) as a precise, in-office* alternative to traditional open surgery. Using ultrasound, the physician can visualize the nerve and surrounding structures in real-time to safely perform the procedure through a small incision.
Benefits of Ultrasound-Guided CTR:
- Minimally invasive and image-guided for accuracy
- Office-based procedure with no general anesthesia
- Reduced recovery time and faster return to activities
- Cost-effective alternative to surgical center treatment
