Diagnosis
Wrists and hands contain some of the most complex muscle, joint and nerve structures in the entire body. The hand and wrist contain 27 bones – with 14 joints in the fingers alone. There are muscles that enable us to bend and straighten the fingers, and ligaments and tendons that provide the stability and mobility that make the hand so dexterous.
Some common symptoms that may indicate a problem with your hand, wrist, or upper extremities include:
- Pain or aching in the hand
- Tingling and numbness in the hand or fingers
- Loss of range of motion or dexterity
- Swelling around any of the joints in the hand and wrist
- Increased size or visible deformity of a joint
- Difficulty performing everyday activities
- Stiffness
- Weakness
Hand therapy can help relieve the discomfort you feel from a hand, wrist, or elbow condition or injury. The experienced hand therapists at Twin Boro Physical Therapy are dedicated to providing patients with coordinated, comprehensive orthopedic care to help them regain any lost independence while achieving the highest possible functional level.
