Hand Pain

Your hand is a complex and intricate machine, comprising joints, muscles, tendons, and nerves that enable a wide range of tasks. When issues arise within this intricate system, causing pain, it can significantly impact your overall quality of life, making even simple tasks seem challenging. Fortunately, our team of experienced healthcare providers is here to help. We can identify the root cause of your hand pain and create a personalized treatment plan to address it.

Common Symptoms:

Hand pain can manifest in various ways, and we are equipped to assist with a range of symptoms, including:

  • Sharp pain
  • Soreness
  • Stiffness
  • Tingling
  • Numbness
  • Weakness
  • Pain that extends to the arms and shoulders

Causes of Hand Pain:

Hand pain can result from a multitude of issues, spanning repetitive strain injuries to conditions like rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Common causes include:

  • Arthritis: Inflammation of the joints, limiting hand function. Osteoarthritis (OA) is caused by wear and tear, while RA is an autoimmune disease.
  • Repetitive Strain: Prolonged repetitive actions leading to inflammation and swelling of nerves and tendons, such as carpal tunnel syndrome affecting the median nerve.
  • De Quervain’s Disease: Pain and swelling of tendons around the thumb, potentially causing pain in the lower arm.
  • Finger Sprains: Damage to ligaments when the finger is bent in a way that causes pain, swelling, and restricted mobility.
  • Trigger Finger: Stenosing tenosynovitis, involving swelling of connective tissue at the base of the thumb or finger, leading to a popping sensation during movement.

Diagnosing Your Hand Pain:

Given the diverse potential causes for hand pain, our comprehensive diagnostic approach is essential. We start by discussing your symptoms, history, and treatment goals, followed by a thorough examination. Advanced diagnostic tools, including ultrasound, bone scans, MRI, CT scans, and nerve conduction studies, may be used to uncover the source of your hand pain.
