Carpal Tunnel Decompression

Carpal tunnel decompression occurs when a nerve in your wrist is compressed. At the bottom of the carpal tunnel are bones, and at the top is a ligament. Symptoms result from pressure inside the carpal tunnel.

About Carpal Tunnel Decompression Surgery

Carpal Tunnel Decompression Surgery is the treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome that occurs when there is pressure exerted on the median nerve whilst it is passing through the carpal tunnel in the wrist. This can cause the median nerve to swell and get inflamed, leading to tenderness, numbness, and tingling in the hand. Once the pressure is released the inflammation will subside and the symptoms will disappear.
