Hand
As the region's most preferred orthopedic practice, OrthoArizona has a team of hand doctors who are exceptional experts and leaders in diagnosing and treating hand injuries and conditions.
Hand pain and dysfunction can significantly impact your daily activities, from simple tasks like gripping objects to participating in hobbies and sports. The hand is a delicate structure, so early diagnosis and intervention are crucial for effective treatment and preventing future complications. Consulting a hand specialist allows for a comprehensive evaluation to pinpoint the source of your pain. This could range from accident-related injuries to repetitive stress injuries or degenerative conditions that develop over time.
No matter the type of hand-related problem, it is important to seek medical care from a professional who can accurately diagnose the hand injury or condition and offer treatment options to restore function and get you back to a full, fulfilled life.
When Is It Time to Seek Care From an Expert?
Finding out when to see an expert can be tricky. You should schedule an appointment if you or a loved one notices any of the following symptoms:
- Clicking or popping sounds in your hand or wrist
- Difficulty gripping objects

- Pain or difficulty bending your fingers
- Persistent pain or stiffness in your hand, wrist, or fingers
- Swelling or deformity in your hand or wrist
- Tingling, numbness, or burning sensation in your hand or fingers
- Weakness or clumsiness in your hand or fingers
When it comes to picking the right doctor to treat your hand injury or condition, there are several factors to consider, such as professional training and level of expertise. Our hand doctors are experts with extensive specialty training and experience. They can locate the source of these symptoms and determine if it is an indication of a serious injury or condition.
