Care for Hand and Wrist Pain

We use our hands for just about everything, so a little soreness from time to time is normal. But if an injury or persistent pain makes even simple daily tasks seem impossible, it may be time to seek relief.

One of the most common causes of hand and wrist pain is arthritis, resulting in inflammation, stiffness and swelling in the joints. Usually, arthritis comes with the wear and tear of age, though a sudden and traumatic injury such as a broken wrist or finger, torn ligament or sprain can cause the condition later. Left untreated, the nagging pain can become excruciating, making it difficult to lead an active, productive life.

Relief Starts Here

The hands and wrists are an intricate system of bone, joints, ligaments, tendons, muscles, nerves, skin and blood vessels. At AtlantiCare’s Musculoskeletal Institute, our orthopedic specialists are specially trained to navigate this delicate network to relieve pain and restore maximum strength and function.

Skilled Hands to Help Heal Yours

We always begin by listening to understand exactly what you’re dealing with and how it’s impacting your life. Then together, we’ll find the best solution for your pain, which may include:

Nonsurgical treatments

Pain and anti-inflammatory medications, cortisone injections and physical therapy are all proven nonsurgical options that may alleviate your pain. But when conservative methods fail to provide relief and restore mobility, surgery may be necessary.

Surgery

Our surgeons perform more than 20 different types of hand and wrist surgeries, including the latest minimally invasive arthroscopic, endoscopic and nerve repair options. These techniques use tiny instruments and just a few small incisions, which usually means less post-operative pain and a quicker return to function.
