Carpal Tunnel Release

WANT TO BE RID OF CARPAL TUNNEL SYMPTOMS?

No one can guarantee a complete recovery from carpal tunnel syndrome BUT OUR
NO-SCALPEL CARPAL TUNNEL RELEASE, is the LEAST INVASIVE way to COMPLETELY RELEASE the transverse carpal ligament, with the SHORTEST REHAB time and FASTEST RECOVERY of any method.

•LOCAL ANESTHESIA means no groggy recovery time
•NO INCISION means no stitches or incision scar
•OFFICE PROCEDURE saves thousands of dollars of unnecessary expenses (operating room fees, recovery room fees, etc.)
•RAPID RETURN TO WORK: days instead of weeks before full use of hand is restored.

HOW DOES IT WORK?
The transverse carpal ligament (TCL) is the bundle of connective tissue fibers that forms the boundary of the carpal tunnel in the wrist, holding the wrist bones in a tight bottleneck which can compress the median nerve, producing tingling, numbness and pain in the fingers and hand.  If untreated this can produce muscle wasting and loss of strength.

Older methods of carpal tunnel release to sever the fibers of the TCL are done with open surgery or with endoscopic instruments.  The sutured incision must be treated very gently for several days after the procedure, and then rehabilitation exercises are prescribed to restore the function of the wrist and hand.  This typically means several weeks off work.

NO-SCALPEL CARPAL TUNNEL RELEASE is a brilliant new innovation in correcting this chronic problem.  Instead of scalpels or bulky endoscopes, the procedure relies on passing the tip of a slender needle through the carpal tunnel after local anesthetic makes the tissue numb to any pain.  This new method have been published in a leading hand surgery journal.

After the needle tip is precisely guided through the narrow passage with continuous ultrasound guidance, a special surgical thread is inserted through the hollow needle to form a snug loop around the TCL, and then the thread is moved against the TCL to sever all of its fibers and release the tension in the carpal tunnel.  This produces INSTANT RELIEF FROM NERVE COMPRESSION WITHIN THE CARPAL TUNNEL.

The ADVANTAGES of this new procedure are enormously important for the patient, their employer, and whoever is paying for the procedure:
•IMMEDIATE RELIEF OF SYMPTOMS
•RAPID RETURN TO NORMAL FUNCTION AND COMFORT
•MUCH BRIEFER REHABILITATION REQUIRED (days instead of weeks), ALL CAN BE DONE AT HOME
•MUCH LOWER COST than open surgery or endoscopic release
•COVERED BY MEDICARE AND MOST INSURANCES
