In very advanced cases, a procedure called a Carpal Tunnel Release Operation is performed. It involves cutting the Transverse Carpal Ligament and letting it heal back together. This gives more room for the soft tissues and therefore lowers the pressure. Surgery is expensive, usually requires many weeks to recover, and is far from being a guaranteed cure. However, there is another approach. Even though the transverse carpal ligament doesn't automatically stretch to accommodate swelling, it can be stretched externally. This technique can be used a preventative method, as well as, a way to help relieve symptoms before they spiral out of control.
