Splints and Shots

A splint can help you sleep for years. The splint keeps your wrist straight, so your sleep isn't disturbed by numb fingers. 

Splints and shots can’t cure carpal tunnel syndrome. They just relieve symptoms.

Surgery

Surgery is the only known way to cure the disease. 

Surgery may eventually be necessary to prevent permanent loss of feeling. 

It is time for surgery when: 

  • you consistently wake with numbness even with the splint on
  • the numbness consistently lingers for a long time
