Hand-related issues can stem from various causes, including injuries, overuse, medical conditions, or age-related concerns. These issues can significantly impact your quality of life by limiting your ability to perform daily tasks, work, or pursue your passions. Seeking specialized hand treatment is essential to alleviate pain, restore function, and enhance your overall well-being.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, commonly referred to as CTS, is a prevalent condition that affects the wrist and hand. It is characterised by a distinct wrist pain, often accompanied by numbness. The primary cause of CTS is the undue pressure exerted on the median nerve, which runs through the wrist. This pressure can arise due to repetitive hand movements, prolonged wrist positioning, or underlying health conditions. Early diagnosis and intervention can help alleviate the symptoms and prevent further complications.
Hand fractures are injuries that denote breaks or cracks in the bones of the hand. These fractures can occur in various parts of the hand, ranging from the delicate phalanges (fingers) to the robust metacarpals (palm) and even extending to the wrist. Such fractures can result from direct trauma, falls, or accidents. It’s essential to seek immediate medical attention for hand fractures to ensure proper healing and to regain optimal hand function.
Experiencing numbness in one’s hand can be both alarming and uncomfortable. This sensation, often described as a lack of feeling or a tingling akin to ‘pins and needles’, can arise from various causes. Whether it’s due to prolonged pressure on the nerves, conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, or even more systemic issues such as diabetes, hand numbness is a symptom that shouldn’t be ignored. It’s essential to consult with a medical professional to pinpoint the exact cause and receive appropriate treatment. By addressing hand numbness promptly, one can prevent potential complications and ensure optimal hand function.
De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis is a medical condition that manifests as a painful inflammation of the tendons located on the thumb side of the wrist. This condition can be particularly debilitating for individuals who rely heavily on their wrist and thumb for daily tasks. The inflammation is often attributed to repetitive hand or wrist movements, leading to strain on the tendons. Early treatment, which may include rest, physiotherapy, and anti-inflammatory medications, can help in managing the symptoms and preventing recurrence.
A brace, splint, or cast may be recommended to immobilize the hand and protect it from further injury. This is commonly used for conditions like fractures or sprains
Physical therapy exercises and techniques can help improve the strength, flexibility, and function of the hand. Therapists may also use modalities like ultrasound or electrical stimulation to reduce pain and inflammation
Over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen or acetaminophen can help alleviate hand pain and reduce inflammation. In some cases, prescription medications may be necessary
Resting the affected hand and avoiding activities that worsen the pain is often the first step in treatment. This allows the injured or inflamed tissues to heal
In cases of severe inflammation, a healthcare provider may administer corticosteroid injections directly into the affected hand to reduce pain and swelling
