Hand & Wrist

Patient-Centered hand Care Begins Here

The frequency with which we use our hands and wrists makes them prone to injuries, dislocations, and fractures. Since the hand consists of dozens of bones and joints as well as ligaments, tendons, muscles, nerves, and cartilage that work together to perform everyday tasks, repetitive motions can lead to tendonitis, arthritis, or carpal tunnel syndrome.

Our hand experts at Slocum Center for Orthopedics & Sports Medicine are some of the most highly respected doctors in the region. With extensive education and training specifically in the hand and wrist, our hand team is considered regional experts in assessing, diagnosing, and treating hand injuries and conditions.

Slocum’s Hand Care

Because some hand and wrist injuries and conditions can be the result of overuse, rest and avoidance of repetitive motions may be successful in treating discomfort. However, if your hand and wrist pain persists or if you are experiencing any of the following symptoms, it is recommended that you see a hand and wrist specialist:

• Cracking sounds or sensations when moving your wrist
• Difficulty rotating your wrist joint
• Elbow issues or elbow pain that is affecting your wrist
• Elbow and forearm pain in addition to wrist pain
• Hand weakness
• Tingling and numbness in your hand and wrist
• Swelling around your wrist joint
• Pins-and-needles sensations
• Upper extremity pain that radiates down into your wrist
• Fingers that bend in toward your palm and wrist
• Wrist issues or wrist pain that is affecting your hand and fingers
• Your fingers bend in toward your palm and wrist
• Bumps have formed on your wrist

Patient-Centered wrist Care Begins Here

Much like the hand, the wrist consists of several bones and joints as well as ligaments, tendons, muscles, nerves, and cartilage. These intricate elements work together to allow for the mobility of the hand, and the frequency with which we use our hands and wrists makes them susceptible to injury or overuse conditions, such as tendinitis, arthritis, or carpal tunnel syndrome.

At Slocum Center for Orthopedics & Sports Medicine, our wrist experts have advanced specialty training to assess, diagnose, and treat a vast array of wrist injuries and conditions. Our wrist doctors and surgeons are regionally recognized for their expertise and experience in performing all kinds of wrist treatments, both surgical and nonsurgical.
