Non-Surgical Treatment

Carpal Tunnel Relief. Without Surgery.

Wrist splints and rest only go so far. We use ultrasound to see the compressed nerve, then free it with a precise injection. No incision. No weeks of recovery.

Quick Overview

See the Nerve. Free the Nerve.

A ligament is pressing on the nerve that enters your hand. That's what causes the numbness — especially in the first three fingers, especially at night. Surgery cuts the ligament. We use ultrasound to see the nerve, then inject fluid to gently separate it from what's pressing on it. No incision, and repeatable if symptoms return.

What That Means for You

  • An alternative to surgery — no incision, no scar, no weeks of recovery
  • Precise, low-risk — we see the nerve on screen, so the injection goes exactly where needed
  • Relief that can last months — and repeatable if symptoms return, unlike surgery
  • Office-based, 20-30 minutes — use your hand the same day
Ultrasound-guided carpal tunnel treatment — needle entering the wrist while ultrasound probe guides the injection

Ultrasound guides the needle to the exact spot — we see the nerve and inject around it.

The Full Story

For those who want to understand the approach in depth

Why Splints Aren't Enough

The splint keeps your wrist in a neutral position while you sleep. That reduces pressure on the nerve. You wake up with less numbness. But during the day, you use your hands — and the symptoms return.

Splints manage the symptoms. They don't change what's happening inside the tunnel.

If you've been wearing a splint for months and the symptoms keep coming back, the problem isn't the splint. The problem is the tunnel.

Why Surgery Isn't the Only Option

Carpal tunnel surgery works. The surgeon cuts the ligament that forms the roof of the tunnel. For severe cases, it may be the right choice. But it's also:

  • An incision in your palm or wrist
  • General or regional anesthesia
  • 4-6 weeks before you can fully use your hand
  • A scar, and sometimes lasting grip weakness

For many patients, there's a step between "keep wearing the splint" and "have the surgery."

How This Works

1

See the problem

The ultrasound shows the median nerve inside the carpal tunnel — a live image. We see where the nerve is being squeezed.

2

Free the nerve

A thin needle injects fluid around the compressed nerve. The fluid gently separates the nerve from the tissue. This is hydrodissection.

3

Reduce inflammation

A small amount of steroid reduces the swelling that caused the compression.

4

Walk out

The whole thing takes 20-30 minutes. You're awake. Use your hand the same day.

You can see the nerve on the ultrasound screen. You can watch the fluid create space around it. This isn't guesswork.

What to Expect

Some patients get lasting relief from one treatment. Others benefit from a second injection. The steroid reduces inflammation; the hydrodissection can create lasting separation.

If this approach doesn't provide enough relief, surgery remains an option. Nothing has been cut. No doors have been closed.
