Did you know that the hand is the most sophisticated and mechanically refined structure of the human body? A small injury can often cause long-term, nagging discomfort, and if left unaddressed, it may result in functional changes that are permanent. Severe injuries or disease processes can cause more potentially devastating effects on hand function, which can be incapacitating or limiting.
Most of us use our hands everyday for a variety of reasons: we work, play, exercise, and do several activities, including taking care of ourselves and others. If you are experiencing pain in your hand, wrist, or forearm, it is advisable to see a hand surgeon, one who has been specifically trained to diagnose and handle these oftentimes difficult and intricate problems.
Dr. Pap treats most hand conditions, with a sampling listed below:
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Congenital Malformations
