Expert care for hand and wrist conditions
Your hands and wrists make everyday life possible — dressing, cooking, texting and more. When pain slows you down, it can affect everything you do. At Main Line Health, our hand and wrist specialists take the time to listen to your needs and develop personalized care plans so you can get back to what you love.
Common causes of hand and wrist pain
Hand and wrist pain can develop over time or happen suddenly after an injury. It might be caused by overuse, repetitive motions or conditions that affect the joints, muscles or nerves.
Some of the most common conditions we treat include:
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Dupuytren’s contracture
- Fractures of the thumb, finger, hand or wrist bone
- Trigger finger
- Ganglion cysts
- Tendon or ligament injuries
- Arthritis and other joint conditions
Non-surgical treatments to help you heal
Many hand and wrist problems can be treated without surgery, and our team will help you start with the most effective options. Your care may include physical or occupational therapy or small changes to your daily activities to reduce strain. We’ll work with you to create a plan that fits your life and helps you feel better as quickly and safely as possible.
In many cases, non-surgical treatments can provide effective relief. These treatments may include:
- Physical therapy and stretching exercises
- Splints or braces for support
- Steroid injections for inflammation
- Pain management options like over-the-counter medications or cortisone injections
When surgery is the best option
If your pain doesn’t improve with other treatments or you have a more serious injury, surgery may be the best way to restore strength and movement. Our hand and wrist surgeons use advanced, minimally invasive techniques whenever possible to help you recover faster and with less discomfort.
