WHAT IS CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME?
Carpal tunnel syndrome is a condition characterized by pain, numbness, and tingling in the hand and arm, resulting from pressure on the median nerve as it travels through the carpal tunnel—a narrow passage at the base of the hand. This condition is commonly associated with repetitive hand movements, such as typing or performing manual labor.
If you are experiencing symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome, it’s important to know that effective treatments are available. Specialised clinics in Tunbridge wells and London offer advanced injection therapies to help alleviate your discomfort.
I
SYMPTOMS OF CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME
Common symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome include:
- Numbness, tingling, or burning sensations: These typically affect the thumb, index, middle, and ring fingers and are often more pronounced at night.
- Weakness: The affected hand may feel weak, making it challenging to grip objects or perform precise movements.
- Pain: Pain can radiate from the wrist to the arm and, in some cases, may be intense.
- Shock-like sensations: Some individuals may experience shock-like feelings traveling from the wrist up the arm.
If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s crucial to consult a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
TREATMENTS FOR CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME
At Vale Clinic, we offer two advanced Treatmnet therapies for carpal tunnel syndrome:
- Cortisone injections: Cortisone is a powerful anti-inflammatory medication that can be injected directly into the carpal tunnel to provide fast-acting relief from pain and inflammation associated with carpal tunnel syndrome.
- Focused Shockwave Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment option for carpal tunnel syndrome that uses high-energy acoustic waves to stimulate healing and reduce pain. This innovative therapy can help alleviate symptoms by improving blood flow, reducing inflammation, and promoting tissue regeneration in the affected area.

YOUR SIMPLE 4 STEP JOURNEY
Step 1. Free Intial consultation
London Bridge Regenerative clinic gives every patient a free consultation with one of our injecting practitioners. This includes a free ultrasound scan if required.
There is no obligation to proceed to treatment. The consultation is an opportunity to discuss your issue in detail and the benefits and risks of the procedure.
STEP 2. PHYSICAL EXAM AND ULTRASOUND
We will perform palpation and orthopaedic tests to help confirm your diagnosis. If required we may also perform a diagnostic ultrasound scan to assist in visualising the issue. We may also refer you for an X-ray or MRI, depending on the examination findings.
We will allow time to explain the procedure and answer any questions you may have. We make sure you understand the advantages and risks with the procedure before going ahead.
STEP 3. Injection procedure
You’ll be given individual pre-injection advice to reduce your chance of bleeding or infection and support your recovery and aid healing
It’s important to let your practitioner know if you’re on any prescription or over-the-counter medications. You may be asked to stop taking aspirin or anti-inflammatory tablets, which can increase the risk of bruising. It’s also important to stop smoking cigarettes and e-cigarettes before and after the procedure because they can disrupt the healing process.
A local anaesthetic is only needed for Cortisone, Prolotherapy, Prolozone, and Arthrosamid injections.
Arthrosamid also requires an antibiotic, which must be taken 2 hours before the procedure.
STEP 4: RECOVERY AND FOLLOW UP
Following the procedure, most individuals can return home and resume their normal activities. Our clinical team will be available to offer water and provide guidance on post-injection care.
For the next 48 hours, it’s advisable to refrain from strenuous activities and alcohol consumption. Don’t be alarmed if you don’t notice immediate effects; the duration until you experience a perceptible change depends on the specific injection administered.
A follow-up appointment or phone consultation will be scheduled after the course of treatment to review the progress.
INJECTION TREATMENT OVERVIEW
London Bridge Regenerative Clinic
Each of these injection therapies offers unique benefits for patients with carpal tunnel syndrome:
Cortisone injections provide rapid relief from pain and inflammation, making them an excellent option for patients seeking quick symptom relief. The effects of cortisone can be felt within a few days of the injection but may be shorter-lived compared to other therapies.
Prolotherapy injections work by triggering the body’s own healing response, stimulating the growth of new, healthy tissue in the affected area. This can help to strengthen the structures around the carpal tunnel, reducing pressure on the median nerve and improving function over time. Prolotherapy may be particularly useful for treating chronic carpal tunnel syndrome that has not responded well to other treatments.
Prolozone injections harness the power of ozone to promote healing, reduce inflammation, and provide pain relief. Ozone has been shown to improve circulation, stimulate the production of growth factors, and modulate the immune system to support the body’s natural healing processes. Prolozone may be especially beneficial for treating acute pain and inflammation associated with carpal tunnel syndrome.
The choice between these therapies depends on individual patient needs, preferences, and the severity and duration of the condition. In some cases, a combination of therapies may be recommended for optimal results.
