Our hands are truly remarkable tools, essential for everything from work tasks to holding a loved one’s hand. When even the smallest discomfort or injury affects your hand, wrist, or forearm, it can disrupt daily life and cause stress. At Regional Hand Center, with locations in Fresno, Visalia, and Merced, California, our expert team understands just how vital healthy hands are, and we specialize in restoring mobility, comfort, and function through advanced, minimally invasive procedures.
Common Hand and Wrist Conditions That Bring Patients In
Many patients come to Regional Hand Center struggling with conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome, trigger finger, arthritis, and injuries related to sports or work. Carpal tunnel syndrome, for example, is a common condition where pressure on the median nerve causes numbness, tingling, and pain in the hand. Trigger finger occurs when a finger gets stuck in a bent position due to inflammation. Arthritis can lead to stiffness and loss of motion, impacting everyday activities. The good news is that patients are not alone. There are effective treatment options ranging from splinting and steroid injections to cutting-edge surgical techniques to relieve symptoms and restore hand function.
