Hand and Wrist Center

The hand and wrist are delicate, complex systems of bones, muscles, tendons, and ligaments, vulnerable to many types of injuries and conditions. From the phalanx bones of the fingers to the median nerve in the wrist, your hand and wrists allow you to do marvelous things.

There are a variety of injuries that affect hand function. Common ailments include bone fractures, tears, inflammation, and dislocation. Most people will experience some hand discomfort at some point in their life. However, if you are experiencing any of these symptoms, you should see an orthopedic hand specialist immediately:

• Any unusual pain in the hand or wrist
• Inability to move fingers like you once could
• Pain that occurs as a result of a major fall or injury
• Pain that does not get better after treatment
• Pain that manifests with other symptoms such as arm pain, fever, or exhaustion

It is a good idea to visit an emergency room for intense hand pain, broken bones, and visible injuries. A Resurgens hand and wrist physician should diagnose any hand or wrist pain that causes severe discomfort.

There is no one single cause for hand and wrist pain. Many jobs, sports, hobbies, and physical activities can cause damage to the hand and wrist. Overextension, severe injury, and congenital diseases can cause many types of hand and wrist conditions such as carpal tunnel, De Quervain's Disease, and osteoarthritis.

Each condition and patient situation requires different healing treatments. It is vital to speak with a highly-trained Resurgens hand physician to help diagnose your condition and provide a treatment plan tailored to promote your healing.
