Your hands and wrists play a vital role in nearly every daily activity—from working and exercising to simple tasks like buttoning a shirt or holding a phone. When pain, numbness, or limited movement develops, it can quickly disrupt your routine and reduce your quality of life. At Orthopedic Associates, our orthopedic specialists provide focused hand and wrist care for a wide range of conditions affecting these complex and essential joints.
We treat both common and complex hand and wrist issues, including carpal tunnel syndrome, fractures, arthritis, tendon injuries, ligament tears, and nerve-related conditions. Because the hand and wrist contain many small bones, joints, tendons, and nerves working together, accurate diagnosis and specialized treatment are critical. Our surgeons combine clinical expertise with advanced diagnostic tools to identify the source of your symptoms and develop a care plan designed specifically for your needs.
Many hand and wrist conditions can be managed without surgery, especially when identified early. Non-surgical options may include splinting, anti-inflammatory treatments, guided therapy, or targeted injections to reduce inflammation and support healing. However, when symptoms persist, worsen, or involve structural damage, surgical care may offer the best opportunity for lasting relief and restored function.
Patients often seek surgical evaluation when they experience ongoing pain, numbness, weakness, or reduced coordination that interferes with their ability to work or perform routine activities. Our specialists carefully evaluate your condition and explain all appropriate treatment options, helping you make confident and informed decisions about your care.
The Hand Center at Orthopedic Associates offers a comprehensive range of procedures tailored to the unique anatomy of the upper extremity. These may include carpal tunnel release, fracture repair, tendon and ligament reconstruction, joint procedures, and nerve decompression. Whenever possible, surgeons utilize techniques designed to protect surrounding tissues and support optimal recovery.
Our team emphasizes precision and individualized planning to address each patient’s condition, using on-site diagnostic imaging. By focusing on restoring stability, relieving nerve pressure, and improving joint function, surgical treatment can help patients regain comfort, strength, and confidence in using their hands and wrists.
Care at Orthopedic Associates extends beyond the procedure itself. Our multidisciplinary team works closely with each patient to guide them before and after surgery. Rehabilitation and physical therapy are often important components of recovery, helping patients rebuild strength, improve flexibility, and safely return to daily activities.
We prioritize clear communication and ongoing support so patients understand what to expect at every stage of their treatment and recovery.
