Hand and Upper Extremities
Reaching, grabbing, writing, driving, lifting, waving – daily activities most of us take for granted. But for those who experience hand and upper extremity issues, these simple movements are difficult and sometimes painful.
This area of the human body is uniquely complex. The joints, bones and muscles of your fingers, hand, wrist, arm, elbow and shoulder feature an intricate and mobile design that you use thousands of times every day. This use – and occasional abuse – can make this area of your body susceptible to injury.
At CoxHealth, our goal is to accurately diagnose your issue and create a care plan designed just for you. Our conservative approach begins with the non-surgical treatments that are best for your situation, and considers surgical options if these treatments don’t deliver the results you need. If surgery becomes the right choice, our experienced medical team stands ready to treat any issue, from carpal tunnel to complex fractures.
We specialize in the treatment of:
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Soft tissue sprains, strains and contusions
- Overuse and traumatic injuries to the upper extremity and hand
- Degenerative arthritis
- Rotator cuff tears
- Impingement syndromes of the shoulder, elbow and wrist
- Fractures, dislocations and subluxations
