WHy come to ortho san antonio for your Hand & Wrist pain?
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when the median nerve in the wrist's carpal tunnel is compressed. In most cases, it is caused by repetitive hand movements. As a result of this compression, the thumb, index, and middle fingers suffer pain, numbness, and tingling.
cubital tunnel Syndrome
Cubital tunnel syndrome occurs when the ulnar nerve in the elbow’s cubital tunnel is compressed. In most cases, it is caused by repetitive elbow movements or prolonged pressure on the nerve. As a result of this compression, the ring and small fingers suffer pain, numbness, and tingling.
Hand & wrist Arthritis
Hand & wrist arthritis stems from swelling in the joints that, over time, ensues cartilage damage. The joints of the hand and wrist help us move smoothly and comfortably, but over time, the cartilage within these joints can degrade, eventually resulting in pain, inflammation, or injuries like arthritis.
DeQuervain’s tendinitis
A painful condition caused by inflammation and irritation of the thumb and wrist tendons. This condition is typically caused by repetitive hand and wrist movements. As well as causing thumb and wrist pain, it can limit mobility as well.
Trigger Finger
Also known as stenosing tenosynovitis, is a condition where the tendon in a finger or thumb becomes inflamed and thickened, making it difficult to move smoothly within its sheath. As a result, the finger may snap or "trigger" when bent or straightened, causing discomfort and restricted movement.
distal radius fractures
Often known as a wrist fracture, occurs when the radius, the larger forearm bone, breaks near the wrist joint. This injury can result from falls, accidents, or direct impacts to the wrist and typically leads to pain, swelling, and impaired wrist and hand function.
