Have you had a recent injury to your hand or do you have a repetitive strain hand injury such as carpel tunnel? Orthopedics specializes in this type of problem, being one of the few treatments that have had lasting success with hand injuries.

Carpel tunnel is very common hand and wrist injury suffered by typists, computer users and assembly line workers. Common early symptoms are losing strength to grip, dropping things and a tingling sensation in the fingers. There can also be pain associated with carpel tunnel. If this is treated as soon as you get the first symptoms, a complete recovery is possible with regular orthopedic sessions. Leaving the condition untreated will lead to greater injury and make it harder for the practitioner to treat.
Other hand injuries sustained during an accident for instance can be quite painful and seem to take a long time to heal. With chiropractic treatment commencing soon after the injury happens, healing will be a lot faster and any misalignment’s can be picked up and treated as soon as swelling reduces. If you are a musician or trades person, working with your hands it is important to treat injuries promptly. The many small bones in the hands and the wrist can be out of place without you realizing, causing stiffness and puffy swellings.

A special orthopedic brace is often needed for healing hand injuries which can be made up for your size and shape by the practitioner. The brace can be worn for several months after the initial healing process to ensure that nothing goes out of alignment.

If you suffer from arthritis in your hands, have any swelling or stiffness; some orthopedic advice and a course of physical therapy will help relieve a lot of the symptoms. Therapy improves movement and mobility of the joints in arthritis suffers and often removes the need for pain killers and anti-inflammatory medication. You don’t have to suffer with these conditions and after a few treatments you will have more agility in your fingers and less pain.
