Carpal Tunnel Surgery in Toronto

No referral needed

Carpal tunnel syndrome is a hand-related condition characterized by discomfort, numbness, and a tingling sensation in the thumb, index finger, middle finger, and the side of the ring finger closest to the thumb.

These symptoms typically result from repeated actions that exert pressure on the median nerve. This nerve is responsible for controlling both motion and sensation in the thumb and the majority of the fingers. The syndrome is more common in women, with a female-to-male ratio of 3:1, indicating a higher susceptibility in females.

Carpal tunnel syndrome can affect your daily activities and make it difficult to complete simple tasks like writing, typing, or gripping objects. Let a carpal tunnel specialist in Toronto from TMSC take care of your symptoms with precision and efficiency.

Carpal tunnel syndrome can cause significant distress. At TMSC, our board certified plastic surgeons specialize in treating such conditions in a safe and efficient manner.

The median nerve, responsible for controlling movement and sensation in the thumb and all fingers except the little finger, runs from the forearm into the hand through a small space in the wrist called the carpal tunnel. When this nerve is compressed or squeezed, it results in carpal tunnel syndrome.

The exact cause of carpal tunnel syndrome is unknown to many people. However, it can be due to:

Engaging in repetitive tasks, such as typing. This is particularly true when your hands are positioned lower than your wrists while executing any form of repetitive movements
Certain medical conditions, including hypothyroidism, obesity, rheumatoid arthritis and diabetes
Pregnancy can also be a contributing factor to the development of carpal tunnel syndrome

At TMSC, we specialize in carpal tunnel treatment Toronto patients can trust. If non-surgical approaches such as splinting don't work, we will perform surgical release of the carpal tunnel. This process involves open carpal tunnel release surgery, where a roughly 2-inch incision is made on the wrist, followed by severing the carpal tunnel ligament to expand the carpal tunnel space.

Our surgical team comprises highly skilled and experienced surgeons who are deeply committed to patient care. You can have peace of mind knowing that every procedure is executed with the highest degree of precision, attention to aesthetic outcome, and in a secure environment.

Fortunately, the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) provides coverage for the treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome. This means that most of the costs associated with your carpal tunnel treatment at TMSC will be covered by the insurance company, making it more accessible and affordable for patients.
