Comprehensive Hand & Elbow Care
From eating a sandwich to getting dressed, from driving our cars to taking a sip of coffee, we rely on our hands, fingers, and all-important opposable thumbs to perform essential tasks in our daily lives. For athletes and active people, proper movement in the joints of the hands and pain-free functioning of muscles and tendons determine the quality of a putt on the green and the steady stroke of an oar while paddling in the river. No matter the activity, pain or lack of movement in the hand can make even the simplest daily tasks difficult or impossible.
Are You Suffering With These Symptoms?
- Joint pain in the hand, wrist or fingers
- Pain on top of the hand or between your knuckles
- Tingling, numbness, weakness or pain in the hand or thumb
- Increased hand, finger or wrist pain from repetitive motions like typing, gaming, crocheting or sports-related activities
If you’re struggling to hold and object, open and close your hand, or complete another natural hand motion, you may have pinched nerves, strained tendons or swelling that can be treated effectively. We recommend that anyone who is experiencing chronic or acute pain that is interfering with daily activities make an appointment to see one of our specialists.
Effective Treatment
Because we rely on them for so many things, our hands are susceptible to a wide range of injuries and debilitating conditions leading to a wide range of options for treatment and care. That’s why CSMO offers comprehensive hand care from our team of fellowship trained specialists.
Dr. Arnold and Dr. Smith understand that surgery is only one option to remedy a hand injury or problem. Non-surgical treatment options like hand therapy may help to restore movement and reduce or eliminate pain. When non-surgical methods prove ineffective, however, the CSMO team has a track record of successful hand surgeries to help patients return to normal activity.
