If you’re searching for carpal tunnel treatment in Mississauga, you’re probably dealing with numbness, tingling, or hand pain that won’t quit—often worse at night or when you’re driving, typing, or holding your phone. The Minor Surgery Center helps patients get a clear diagnosis and the right next step, whether that’s conservative treatment or a procedure when it’s medically appropriate. This is general information, not medical advice, but if symptoms are worsening or you’re losing grip strength, it’s worth getting assessed sooner rather than later.

A carpal tunnel assessment is meant to answer three things quickly: is this actually carpal tunnel, how severe is it, and what’s the safest plan for your situation. Your appointment typically involves a focused history and exam, and depending on what’s found, you may be advised to try conservative options first or to consider further testing to confirm the diagnosis. The key is not to “push surgery” or “wait it out” blindly—both approaches can be wrong depending on severity and how long symptoms have been present.

Treatment is personalized and usually starts with the least invasive option that makes sense. For mild to moderate cases, that can include activity changes, splinting, or other physician-guided strategies to reduce nerve irritation. If symptoms are persistent, severe, or impacting function, a procedure may be recommended to relieve pressure on the nerve. If a procedure is appropriate, you’ll be walked through what it involves, what recovery typically looks like, and what results are realistic for your case—especially if symptoms have been present for a long time.

Coverage in Ontario can depend on medical necessity and the setting of care. If your assessment shows that a procedure is indicated, the clinic can explain the pathway, timelines, and any costs that may apply before you commit to anything. The goal is straightforward: stop guessing, protect hand function, and get you back to normal use of your hand and wrist with a plan you understand.
