What is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is a common condition where the median nerve, which runs through a narrow tunnel in your wrist, becomes compressed. This can lead to symptoms such as numbness, tingling, hand weakness, and pain.
At La Belle Forme in Glasgow, we offer consultant-led carpal tunnel treatment, including surgical and non-surgical options, depending on your condition. For cases that do not respond to conservative treatment, we may recommend a minor surgical procedure known as carpal tunnel release, which is designed to relieve pressure on the nerve and ease symptoms.
Treatment is tailored to each individual following a thorough consultation and assessment by our medical team.
What Happens During Treatment?
Your consultation will involve a detailed assessment of your symptoms, medical history, and wrist function. Our specialists may carry out diagnostic tests or refer you for nerve conduction studies if required.
If surgery is recommended, it’s usually carried out under local anaesthetic. A small incision is made in the wrist, and the tight ligament pressing on the nerve is gently divided to relieve pressure. The procedure typically takes around 20–30 minutes and is done as a day case—meaning you can go home shortly after.
Stitches are removed approximately 10–14 days after the procedure, and we’ll support your recovery with tailored aftercare advice.
Is This Treatment Right for Me?
You may be suitable for carpal tunnel treatment if you:
- Have persistent tingling, numbness, or weakness in your hand
- Experience symptoms that interfere with sleep or daily tasks
- Have tried non-surgical treatment without improvement
- Wish to explore long-term relief for ongoing discomfort
All treatment options are fully discussed during your consultation to help you make an informed decision. Results vary depending on individual health and the severity of symptoms.
- Long-term relief from nerve compression symptoms
- Improved grip strength and hand function
- Day case procedure with minimal downtime
- Consultant-led care in a regulated, clinical setting
While carpal tunnel treatment is generally considered safe, potential risks include:
- Temporary swelling, soreness or bruising
- Stiffness or reduced wrist movement
- Sensitivity around the incision site
- Rare chance of infection or delayed healing
- Symptoms may not fully resolve in all cases
Our team will discuss risks during your consultation, and we will only proceed with treatment if it’s suitable for your condition and goals.
