At Paragon Health Group, we offer a specialized form of treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome via carpal tunnel injections. During this procedure, a small amount of corticosteroid medication is injected into the space around the median nerve to reduce inflammation and decrease pressure on the nerve. Using such a simple methodology can provide significant relief from pain and other symptoms associated with carpal tunnel syndrome.
If you are experiencing numbness, tingling, or pain in your hands or wrists that will not seem to go away, carpal tunnel injections may be the proper treatment for you. At our practice, we specialize in performing these injections to provide relief from carpal tunnel syndrome in patients impacted by the condition. We also do post-injection follow-ups to make sure that the procedure is successful and monitor any potential side effects.
Injections may be the right solution for patients who have not seen improvements with other treatment methods. If physical therapy, lifestyle changes, and other options have not helped, then corticosteroids might.
At our practice, we begin the procedure by numbing the area with a local anesthetic. We then use ultrasound to guide the injection into the correct spot. The entire process takes around fifteen minutes and is usually done in one session. Afterwards, you may experience soreness or swelling for a few days after but this should go away on its own.
Most patients experience symptom relief right away, as corticosteroids quickly begin working their benefits. After the injection, we typically recommend patients rest and apply cold compresses for a few days to avoid irritating the injection sites. You may also take over-the-counter pain medication to help relieve any soreness or swelling, but these are generally mild and quickly disappear.
