Is surgery always needed?
At the early stages of carpal tunnel syndrome, there are steps you can take to treat your symptoms, such as modifying the activities that cause them, wearing a resting splint, stretching, and getting a cortisone shot. You should not get repeated cortisone shots, since they can mask symptoms and lead to permanent damage. If conservative treatment fails, you should consider surgery.

It is important not to put off treating carpal tunnel syndrome. Make sure you work with a qualified surgeon whose practice is dedicated to hands and wrists. If not treated in time, CTS can lead to permanent damage.
