Hand & Wrist
Fine motor skills matter — from gripping a coffee mug to typing to creative pursuits. If pain, numbness, or weakness is limiting your hand or wrist, we’ll help you recover function and prevent long-term complications with a personalized, hands-on approach.
Anatomy and Function
The hand and wrist contain 29 bones and dozens of muscles, tendons, and ligaments that work together to provide strength, precision, and control. These small structures allow us to grip, grasp, write, type, play music, draw, cook, and perform countless other fine motor tasks. Dysfunction in the hand or wrist — whether from nerve compression, inflammation, injury, or repetitive use — can significantly affect your independence and quality of life.
