The hands and wrists are essential for nearly every daily task, providing the dexterity, strength, and precision needed for work, hobbies, and personal care. Keeping these joints healthy and pain-free is vital for maintaining independence and quality of life.

Patients experience a wide range of hand and wrist conditions, including carpal tunnel syndrome, arthritis, tendonitis, trigger finger, ganglion cysts, fractures, and ligament injuries — all of which can cause significant discomfort and interfere with fine motor skills. Hand and wrist pain can make routine activities like typing, gripping, writing, and lifting difficult or even impossible. Causes of pain often include overuse, repetitive strain, injury, aging, or degenerative conditions.

Athletes, musicians, and individuals who perform repetitive tasks are especially prone to hand and wrist injuries due to the high demand placed on these small but complex joints. The physicians at Advanced Orthopedic & Sports Medicine have extensive experience diagnosing, treating, and preventing hand and wrist injuries for patients of all ages and activity levels.

Treatment options often begin with non-surgical approaches. After a comprehensive evaluation, our physicians may recommend therapies such as splinting, anti-inflammatory medications, corticosteroid injections, physical or occupational therapy, and activity modifications. If conservative treatments do not provide relief, surgical options are available to restore function, relieve pain, and help patients regain the use of their hands and wrists.
