Carpal Tunnel Hydrodistention FAQ

Hydrodistention (also known as hydrodissection) is a specialized technique where fluid—typically a mixture of saline, local anaesthetic, and a low-dose anti-inflammatory—is injected under pressure to physically separate and release scarred or compressed tissue surrounding the entrapped median nerve in the wrist.

A standard injection simply deposits medication to reduce chemical inflammation. Hydrodistention uses a larger volume of fluid to achieve a mechanical dilatation effect, physically peeling away compressive adhesions and restoring the nerve's natural gliding movement for longer-lasting relief.

This procedure is highly recommended for patients experiencing numbness, tingling, burning, or pins and needles in their hand and fingers who want to avoid surgical carpal tunnel release, or for those whose symptoms have returned after a standard injection.

The carpal tunnel is an incredibly tight space packed with delicate tendons and the median nerve. Ultrasound guidance allows us to see the needle and the nerve in real time, ensuring we wrap fluid safely 360 degrees around the nerve with pinpoint accuracy while completely avoiding nerve damage.

The skin and entry pathway are thoroughly numbed with a fast-acting local anaesthetic first. Patients generally feel a temporary sensation of fullness or pressure in the wrist and palm as the fluid gently dilates the canal, rather than sharp pain.

The entire session lasts approximately 20–30 minutes. This comprehensive appointment includes a detailed ultrasound mapping of your carpal tunnel anatomy, nerve cross-sectional measurement, sterile preparation, and the guided procedure.

Because the mechanical pressure on the nerve is released immediately, many patients report a significant reduction in nighttime tingling and numbness within 48 to 72 hours, with progressive improvement continuing over the following weeks.

Relief typically lasts 6 to 12 months or longer. Because it physically disrupts the scar tissue holding the nerve down, the therapeutic effects are generally much more durable than standard corticosteroid injections alone.

Yes. Clinical studies show that hydrodistention can successfully bridge the gap between conservative care and surgery, allowing a vast majority of patients with mild-to-moderate entrapment to completely avoid open surgical release.

Your fingers may feel slightly numb or clumsy for 1–2 hours due to the local anaesthetic. For your safety, we strongly recommend arranging a driver or using public transport to get home, and avoiding heavy lifting or repetitive hand gripping for the first 48 hours.

Some patients notice mild localized swelling or a dull ache in the wrist for 24–48 hours as the fluid absorbs. True complications are exceptionally rare because ultrasound guidance ensures a safe barrier is maintained away from the nerve bundle.

While optimal results occur in mild-to-moderate cases, patients with severe compression can still achieve significant symptomatic relief. We will measure the exact swelling degree of your median nerve under ultrasound during your assessment to check its viability.

No GP referral is necessary. Our clinical setup is entirely direct-access, meaning you can self-refer and schedule your appointment online or over the phone with our upper limb specialist team straight away.

We often recommend wearing your nocturnal wrist splint for a short period following treatment, combined with a structured nerve-gliding exercise program provided by our physiotherapists to prevent new scar tissue from binding the nerve down again.

Yes. We offer a convenient single-visit pathway. Your clinician will dynamically assess your wrist, confirm the diagnosis via a high-resolution ultrasound scan, and perform the hydrodistention procedure all in one appointment.
