Don't let a hand injury stop you from your favorite activities

Hand pain refers to discomfort in any of part of the tissues and joints of your hand – including the fingers. This discomfort can be hand numbness, soreness, mild discomfort or debilitating pain. How you experience hand pain depends on the cause, and the orthopedic experts offer a thorough approach to diagnosing hand pain.

With advanced imaging, we can get to the bottom of the discomfort in your hands – whether it’s because of arthritis or a work-related injury. Call (574) 534-2548 for an appointment.

What caused my hand pain?

The normal wear and tear of muscles and joints is a common cause of hand and thumb pain. As you age, your joint components, including the fluid-filled sacs, become more prone to strain and damage. Arthritis, tendinitis and bursitis are all examples of hand pain as a result of ongoing use.

Other conditions that cause hand pain are:

Infections
Carpal tunnel syndrome
Peripheral neuropathy
Autoimmune disorders
