Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when a nerve supplying the hand is squeezed inside a narrow passage at the wrist, causing pain, tingling, numbness, and weakness. During a hydrodissection procedure, a clinician uses ultrasound guidance to inject a sterile salt solution around the nerve, separating it from restrictive surrounding tissues. While steroids act by reducing inflammation, saline hydrodissection physically open
