Treatments for
carpal tunnel post surgery healing invole resting the wrist and application
of cool packs to help reduce swelling. Initial treatments for carpal tunnel
syndrome should begin as early as possible, under a doctor's direction.
Initial treatment generally involves resting the affected hand and wrist for
at least 2 weeks, avoiding activities that may worsen symptoms, and immobilizing
the wrist in a splint to avoid further damage from twisting or bending.
If there is inflammation, applying cool packs can help reduce swelling both
pre and carpal tunnel post surgery healing.
