CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME

What is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Carpal tunnel syndrome is caused by compression or irritation of a nerve that can cause pain, numbness, weakness or pins and needles. The condition can be confirmed by examination at our private hand clinic where we can perform specialized nerve tests.

Our specialist team know that this condition can cause major discomfort and pain. We strive to alleviate these symptoms and quickly as we can with lasting effect.

What is the treatment?

The hand doctor will recommend which of the many treatments options available will be best and create a precise treatment plan that is tailored around you.
