Hand & Wrist

The hand is extremely complex. Tendons glide over bones and are encased in tunnels to allow you to move your fingers and grasp objects. Hand and wrist pain sometimes results when the tunnels are too tight to allow proper gliding of tendons, sometimes nerves are squeezed by tight ligaments, sometimes the hand develops arthritis. The hand is considered by some as the most important aspect of the upper extremity; after all, it is what we use to perform functions.

The AOSM physician will take his time to perform a comprehensive evaluation and discuss with you the diagnosis leading up to your hand difficulty. AOSM physicians and orthopedic surgery doctors treat conditions involving the bones, tendons, and muscles of the hands, wrist and forearm. Under their experienced guidance, your hand problem will be thoroughly explained to you and an individualized treatment plan devised, based on your individualized goals. Our physicians may recommend medication, injections, therapy, bracing, or surgery depending on your unique circumstances. If you are among the millions of Americans experiencing hand and upper extremity problems such as carpal tunnel syndrome, tendinitis, or trigger finger each year, it is important to find an expert to care for you that cares whether you do well. Whether your condition is due to arthritis, a sports injury, an accident, work-related or a congenital disorder, you can feel confident in choosing AOSM for your care.
