Your hands and wrists are involved in many extremely varied tasks every day. From brushing your teeth, buttoning a shirt, or sending a message on your phone, your hands and wrists are busy at work to make these things possible.
If a hand or wrist becomes damaged in any way – by trauma (chronic or acute), disease, or the result of ageing – it can make many daily activities and tasks much more challenging, sometimes even impossible.
Some conditions may cause your grip to become weaker, and you may struggle to twist open a bottle lid. Other conditions may cause a finger to curl unnaturally and ‘lock’ in place. If you enjoy playing a racquet sport, you may struggle to hold your racquet firmly enough to play at your usual level.
For any type of pain, stiffness, weakness or numbness in a hand or wrist that is causing you problems, it is sensible to get expert assessment and guidance. If you would like to book a private appointment with one of our experience Consultants, please get in touch with us and will get your visit booked in as soon as possible.
