Trauma to your hands and wrists, such as from a car accident, falling on an outstretched hand, and impact injuries, can also cause many acute injuries to the area, especially sprains, strains, and fractures.
To better understand your symptoms, the Ortho One team begins by asking about the location of your pain, activities or trauma that contribute to your pain, and movements that are difficult to perform because of your injury.
Your provider then examines your hand, applying gentle pressure around the joints, muscles, and ligaments to check for areas of tenderness, swelling, or bony changes. They may also stretch or compress joints and soft tissues in your hands to evaluate nerve and joint function.
Specialized imaging and testing may be ordered, including X-rays, an MRI, nerve conduction study (NCS), or diagnostic ultrasound. Based on their findings, the team explains your diagnosis and recommends a treatment strategy to relieve your pain.
