Hand Injuries Q & A
Your hands are incredibly complex limbs that feature a network of muscles, tendons, bones, joints, and ligaments. These tissues work in coordination to help you grasp objects, pick things up, throw, and lift. While your hands are both tough and hardworking, they aren’t invincible.
If you suffer a crush injury, develop arthritis, or slip-and-fall while on the job, you might experience hand pain, swelling, and the inability to perform normal, routine tasks. Other common hand injuries include lacerations, dislocations, and fractures.
If you’re experiencing persistent pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness in your hand or wrist that doesn’t improve with rest or conservative treatments, it may be time to consult a specialist. Conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, tendon injuries, or fractures often require surgical intervention when symptoms are severe or non-responsive to other therapies.
Treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome varies depending on severity. Non-surgical options include wrist splinting, anti-inflammatory medications, and corticosteroid injections. If symptoms persist, surgical options such as carpal tunnel release surgery may be considered to alleviate pressure on the median nerve.
Recovery from hand surgery typically involves rest, elevation, and possibly the use of a splint or brace. Physical therapy may be recommended to restore strength and mobility. The duration of recovery varies based on the specific procedure and individual healing rates.
Yes, many hand injuries can be managed with non-surgical treatments such as physical therapy, medications, and lifestyle modifications. Our specialists will work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan aimed at relieving symptoms and promoting healing.
