Carpal tunnel syndrome can cause numbness, tingling, weakness, and pain in your hand and wrist. At Twin Palm Orthopedics in Ocala, Florida, Dr. Derek Farr, DO, and Dr. Nirav Gupta, DO, offer minimally invasive carpal tunnel release right in the office — with no hospital visit required. The procedure is quick, effective, and performed under local anesthesia.
What Is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?
Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when the median nerve is compressed at the wrist, often due to repetitive motion or inflammation. Symptoms may include numbness in the thumb, index, and middle fingers, as well as hand weakness and pain that worsens at night.
How Does the Release Procedure Work?
Carpal tunnel release is a simple, in-office procedure where a small incision is made to divide the transverse carpal ligament, relieving pressure on the median nerve. It’s performed under local anesthesia with minimal discomfort and no need for sedation or stitches.
What Are the Benefits?
- Performed in-office — no hospital stay
- Quick relief of hand and wrist symptoms
- Minimal downtime and small incision
- No general anesthesia needed
