Orthopedic Hand and Wrist Pain Specialist in South Bend, IN

Best Hand Surgeons In South Bend, IN

Pain in your hands or wrists can affect almost everything you do. Even if you don’t work with your hands for a living, you still rely on them for most daily activities. Our leading orthopedic hand specialists use surgical and nonsurgical approaches to treat your hand or wrist issue.

What Conditions Cause Hand and Wrist Pain?

Hand and wrist pain comes from a variety of conditions. A surprising amount of bones, tendons, ligaments, and muscles make up our hands. Even the slightest movements can become restricted and painful when inflammation or injury occurs. It’s no wonder that a hand or wrist injury can impact your everyday life. The hand and wrist specialists at OSMC in South Bend, IN, are uniquely qualified to treat the following conditions:

  • Arthritis
  • Carpal tunnel syndrome
  • Compartment syndrome
  • Cubital tunnel syndrome
  • Fingertip injuries
  • Gamekeeper’s (skier’s) thumb
  • Ganglion cysts
  • Infections
  • Nerve laceration
  • On-the-job injuries
  • Post-traumatic reconstruction
  • Repetitive stress
  • Sports-related injuries
  • Trauma
  • Traumatic amputations
  • Trigger finger (stenosing tenosynovitis)

When Should I Worry About My Hand or Wrist Pain?

Please contact one of OSMC’s hand and wrist specialists if you have any symptoms, such as the following. If left untreated, the condition may worsen and affect other parts of your arm.

  • Pain when gripping/twisting/lifting objects
  • Swelling in the hand or wrist
  • A decrease in range of motion
  • Warmth or redness
  • Numbness/tingling/throbbing in hand or wrist
  • A grinding sensation in the joints
  • Cysts at the joints

If you’ve suffered a hand or wrist injury, visit one of our orthopedic walk-in urgent care clinics for immediate treatment.

What Treatments Do You Offer for Hand and Wrist Pain?

The causes of hand and wrist pain vary as much as the treatment options available. For hand and wrist pain that doesn’t require surgery, the orthopedic specialists at OSMC may suggest occupational therapy, physical therapy, or hand therapy. If your injury is minor, you may only need rest and medicine such as ibuprofen.

Compression and ice can also help minor injuries. For more severe injuries or conditions, surgery may be required. If needed, your orthopedic surgeon will administer anesthesia to numb the area. Once you are at ease, a small incision will be made to access and treat the damaged portions of the hand or wrist. The duration of the procedure depends on the type of surgery performed and the severity of your condition.

How Long is Recovery After Hand or Wrist Surgery?

Pain, aching, and swelling in your wrist are all common after wrist surgery. Your orthopedic doctor will prescribe medications and other treatments to ease these symptoms and speed recovery. Contact your surgeon at our OSMC outpatient surgery center immediately if you notice redness, heat, or discharge at the surgical site, as these can indicate infection or other post-surgical issues.
