Hand and Wrist Pain Consultation

 Persistent hand or wrist pain shouldn’t be ignored. Dr. Mehta performs a detailed exam to find the cause and create a plan that may include targeted exercises and other conservative options to help you move comfortably.

Carpal Tunnel Release

Feeling numbness, tingling, or weakness in your hand? You may be experiencing carpal tunnel syndrome — a common condition caused by pressure on the median nerve in your wrist. Carpal tunnel release can help relieve nerve pressure and restore hand function.

Trigger Finger Release

A locking or clicking finger can limit your grip and movement. Dr. Mehta uses precise injections or minimally invasive surgery for trigger finger to release the tendon and restore pain-free movement.

Wrist Arthroscopy

Dr. Mehta uses wrist arthroscopy to diagnose and treat cartilage or ligament injuries through small incisions, which helps relieve pain and speed up recovery.

Fracture Care

Tendon and Nerve Repair

Tendon or nerve injuries can lead to weakness or loss of sensation. Dr. Mehta performs precise repairs to restore your hand movement and strength.

Why Does My Hand or Wrist Hurt?

Your hands and wrists work hard daily, so it’s natural for them to ache or feel strained at times. But if the pain lingers, it could be due to overuse, injury, fractures, or conditions such as:

  • Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: Pressure on a wrist nerve that causes tingling or weakness
  • Tendonitis: Inflammation from repetitive movement
  • Arthritis: Stiffness and swelling in the joints
  • Ganglion Cysts: Fluid-filled lumps that press on nerves or joints

Even mild pain can worsen over time. Seeing a specialist can help you find the cause and get relief before it limits movement.

When Should You See a Doctor?

Not every ache needs a doctor’s visit, but some signs shouldn’t be ignored. See a specialist if you notice:

  • Pain that lasts more than two weeks, even with rest
  • Swelling or stiffness that makes movement difficult
  • Numbness or tingling in your fingers or palm
  • Weak grip or trouble holding objects
  • Pain after an injury, even a minor one
  • Clicking or locking in your fingers
  • Lumps or bumps that don’t go away or keep growing

 

Dr. Pamela Mehta knows how much hand and wrist pain can slow you down. She’ll find what’s causing your pain and guide you toward lasting relief.

Dr. Pamela was amazing. She was so thorough and knowledgeable, and when my son got injured, she acted quickly instead of taking a wait-and-see approach. Her team got us in for an X-ray the very same day, which I really appreciated. What stood out most was that she took the time to really understand what happened and what was causing the problem. I never felt rushed during our appointment. She listened, answered all of our questions, and made us feel like we were her only patients. That level of attention and care is hard to find these days. Everyone in the office was professional, kind, and efficient. As soon as the imaging results were ready, Dr. Pamela personally called to go over everything, explain the plan, and discuss the next steps. I would recommend her to anyone looking for orthopedic care. She’s incredibly knowledgeable, genuinely kind, and you can tell she truly cares about her patients and their families. She truly cares from the heart, and it shows.

So thankful to have been recommended to Dr. Mehta a few years ago! My first experience with her was the meniscus surgery, which she performed perfectly, and I was back to my former fitness level in a short time! What she has helped me with even more are my low back problems, including three bulging discs and stenosis. I’ve had three stem cell injections over the years. (In the middle of these, I tried a different procedure with a different provider, and it was awful!) Had my most recent injection yesterday and the relief was immediate! My son has also been to her for a sports shoulder injury and my husband with his knee. We really appreciate Dr. Mehta, her expertise, and the helpful people she has chosen for her office!

Dr. Pamela Mehta was incredible. Her professional advice, support, and injections made a huge difference in my recovery. She took the time to understand exactly what I was dealing with and guided me every step of the way. Because of her care, I am now back to my normal routine, including gym workouts, running, and biking, completely pain free. I am truly grateful for everything she did to help me get back to my normal life. Highly recommend!!!

Dr Mehta is knowledgable, skilled, and dedicated. She is confident in her treatment and i appreciate that she doesn’t resort straight to surgery when there’s a chance your body can heal on its own. She is great!!

Dr Mehta was fantastic. She assessed my knee pain, listened to my concerns and scheduled my surgery promptly. The surgery went well and I am postop six weeks and just returned from a four day trip to San Antonio where I did a lot of walking. I feel like my knee is progressing well. She was thorough and has a great bedside manner. I would 10 out of 10 recommend her.

My shoulder injury was mis-diagnosed by another practitioner and I struggled with pain, mobility issues and PT for 6 months. After one visit with Dr. Mehta, 4 weeks later I am pain free and back in action!

Saw Dr. Mehta for debilitating hip pain. She prescribed PRP and physical therapy, and I am happy to report that I have very little pain now. She was very thorough and patiently answered all my questions. I would recommend her very highly to anyone needing an Orthopedic specialist.
