OPTIMISE YOUR RECOVERY AND DECREASE YOUR RELIANCE ON PAIN MEDICATION
CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME
One of the most frequently diagnosed conditions, carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when the median nerve, which runs through a passage in the wrist called the carpal tunnel, becomes compressed. Symptoms often include numbness, tingling, and pain, primarily in the thumb, index, and middle fingers.
Repetitive hand movements, pregnancy, and some underlying health conditions can increase the risk. Early diagnosis and treatment can prevent lasting nerve damage. If you suspect carpal tunnel syndrome, our team is equipped to assess, diagnose, and suggest the best course of action.
TENDONITIS
Tendons, the thick fibrous cords that attach muscle to bone, can become inflamed or irritated, leading to tendinitis. In the wrist, this often results from overuse or repetitive motions. It presents as pain, swelling, and a feeling of warmth around the affected area.
Quick intervention can prevent the condition from becoming chronic. Reach out to our experts to discuss your symptoms and receive the right treatment recommendations.
DE QUERVAIN’S TENOSYNOVITIS
Affecting the tendons on the thumb side of your wrist, this condition can cause pain and swelling, and may hinder the thumb’s movement. It often arises from chronic overuse of the wrist, especially in activities that require twisting or gripping.
If pain occurs when forming a fist, grasping objects, or turning the wrist, it’s essential to seek professional advice. Our team is experienced in diagnosing and managing De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis.
GANGLION CYST
These are non-cancerous lumps that most commonly develop along the tendons or joints of wrists or hands. They might appear suddenly, be of varying sizes, and can either remain stationary or fluctuate in size. While often painless, if a cyst presses on a nerve, it can cause pain, tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness.
Our team can guide you on potential treatment options, which may range from monitoring to more interventional approaches.
OSTEOARTHRITIS
The most common form of arthritis, osteoarthritis can affect the small joints of the hand and the base of the thumb. Symptoms include stiffness, pain, swelling, and decreased range of motion.
If you notice persistent pain or reduced mobility in your hand or wrist, it might be due to osteoarthritis. We’re here to assess, diagnose, and provide guidance on managing this chronic condition.
