Hand and Wrist Services
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
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
A wrist fracture can make simple tasks difficult. Dr. Mehta uses advanced fixation methods to align the bones, support healing, and restore lasting strength.
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.
