FAQs About Wrist and Hand Care
When there’s a problem in your hand that’s causing pain or making it difficult to do everyday tasks—and non-surgical treatments haven’t helped—you may need hand surgery to repair the problem.
Depending on your condition, your hand surgeon may do a procedure on the tissues or bones of your hand. At IBJI, many of our surgeries are performed in an outpatient setting to provide optimal comfort and convenience. Our surgery centers are equipped with state-of-the-art technology for advanced hand care, treating fractures, dislocations, and traumatic injuries to tendons, nerves, or vessels.
A surgeon trained in hand care and upper extremity problems is the most qualified to diagnose your condition and recommend appropriate treatment options.
These surgeons specialize in disorders and injuries of the hand and wrist, including:
- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
- Wrist Pain
- Cuts on the Fingers and Hand
- Sports Injuries to the Hand and Wrist
- Broken Bones in the Hand and Wrist
Visiting a hand and upper extremity surgeon doesn’t necessarily mean they will recommend surgery. They will typically want to try non-surgical treatment options first or will refer you to a hand therapist.
Hand therapy can help you regain the use of your hand after an injury, surgery, or at the onset of a disease. A specially-trained hand therapist provides treatments and exercises to help rehabilitate and heal your hand for optimal function and pain relief.
Yes, hand doctors are trained in both hand and wrist health. IBJI hand surgeons treat injuries and conditions of the hand, wrist, or forearm. Many experts in wrist and hand care also treat disorders and injuries of the elbow and shoulder. They can perform surgery when needed or recommend the appropriate non-invasive treatments to help you heal.
Yes, certain types of diabetic neuropathy can cause hand pain, depending on which nerves are affected. Peripheral neuropathy is the most common type of diabetic neuropathy and starts by affecting the feet and legs first, followed by the hands and arms. Symptoms are often worse at night. If you think you may have diabetic neuropathy, it’s essential to consult your doctor.
