If you’ve been living with numbness, tingling, or weakness in your hands, you might be dealing with carpal tunnel syndrome—a common condition that can interfere with daily life, work, and sleep. The good news? Relief doesn’t have to mean surgery at a hospital, time off work, or a long recovery.

Ultrasound-Guided Carpal Tunnel Release

Dr. Alexander Palmer, Upper Extremity and Hand Specialist, offers a modern, in-office solution called ultrasound-guided carpal tunnel release. This minimally invasive procedure is done under local anesthesia, without sedation, and takes place right in our clinic.

“It’s a great choice for patients who need carpal tunnel release, but don’t want the downtime or hassle of anesthesia and a traditional surgical setting,” says Dr. Palmer. “By using real-time ultrasound to guide the release, we can be precise, efficient, and get patients back to doing what they love—faster.”

What Makes This Approach Different?

Traditional carpal tunnel surgery typically involves a larger incision, general anesthesia or sedation, and several weeks of recovery. By contrast, Dr. Palmer’s in-office procedure is:

• Minimally invasive – No large incisions or stitches
• Faster recovery – patients return to normal activities within days.
• Local anesthetic– Eliminating the risks of general anesthesia.
• Convenience – Performed at our Sano clinic instead of a surgery center/hospital

It’s an ideal option for busy professionals, parents, or anyone eager to get back to life quickly.

Innovation Meets Patient Experience

With ultrasound-guided release, Dr. Palmer visualizes the median nerve and surrounding structures in real time. This ensures an accurate and safe procedure tailored to the anatomy of each patient. For those with mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome—or those who’ve delayed treatment because of concerns about surgery—this approach offers a streamlined path to relief.

“Our goal is always to make care easier and more effective,” says Dr. Palmer. “Patients are often surprised by how quick and comfortable the whole process is. That’s the kind of experience we want to provide—innovative care that fits our patients' lives.”
