The Hand – Precision and Importance

With its 27 bones, 33 muscles, and numerous tendons and ligaments, the human hand is a fascinating tool of precision. Its unrestricted function is essential for everyday life. Only when limitations or pain occur – whether due to illness or injury – does the enormous significance of this body part become truly apparent.

Common Causes of Wrist Pain

  • Carpal Tunnel Syndrome:
    This common condition, especially in women, is caused by compression of the median nerve in the carpal tunnel. Typical symptoms include pain, tingling, and numbness in the hand, often accompanied by weakness when gripping.

  • Wrist Arthritis:
    Arthritis in the wrist leads to painful swelling of joints and tendons. This severely restricts mobility, particularly forearm rotation, and results in a loss of grip strength.

Treatment Options
Our specialised wrist consultation provides comprehensive diagnostics and targeted therapies:

  • Conservative Measures: Pain medication, physiotherapy, and hand orthoses for stabilisation.

  • Surgical Procedures: Gentle interventions such as carpal tunnel release or arthroscopic treatments for arthritis.
