The hand is one of the most complex structures in the human body, containing 27 bones, numerous joints, tendons, ligaments, and nerves. Understanding hand anatomy helps in identifying the source of pain and developing effective treatment strategies.
Your hand consists of the wrist (carpus), palm (metacarpus), and fingers (phalanges). The wrist contains 8 small bones arranged in two rows, while the palm has 5 metacarpal bones, and each finger has 3 phalanges (except the thumb, which has 2). This intricate structure is controlled by muscles in the forearm and hand, connected by tendons that pass through narrow tunnels.
Our specialist team conducts thorough assessments to identify exactly which structures are causing your pain, whether it's joints, tendons, ligaments, or nerves. We use advanced diagnostic techniques including physical examination, imaging studies, and functional movement analysis to develop a precise treatment plan tailored to your specific condition.
Hand anatomy showing bones, joints, and common pain areas
Our expert team specializes in diagnosing and treating various types of hand pain, each requiring a unique approach for optimal recovery.
Compression of the median nerve in the wrist causing numbness, tingling, and pain in the thumb, index, and middle fingers. Common in office workers and those who perform repetitive hand movements.
Degeneration of cartilage in hand joints causing pain, stiffness, and swelling. Includes osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and psoriatic arthritis affecting fingers, thumb base, and wrist joints.
Inflammation of the tendon sheath causing finger to catch or lock when bent. Results in clicking, popping, or locking sensation when moving the affected finger or thumb.
Inflammation of tendons on the thumb side of the wrist, causing pain with thumb and wrist movements. Often called "mother's thumb" or "texting thumb" due to common causes.
Thickening of tissue beneath the palm skin, causing fingers to curl toward the palm. Progressive condition that typically affects the ring and little fingers, more common in men over 50.
Fluid-filled lumps that commonly develop along tendons or joints of wrists and hands. Usually harmless but can cause pain or interfere with joint movement when pressing on nerves.
Many hand conditions share similar symptoms, making self-diagnosis difficult. Our specialists use comprehensive assessment techniques to determine the exact cause of your pain and create an appropriate treatment plan.
