subject: For Advice On Wrist Surgery, Patients Choose Brown Hand Center [print this page] Patients experiencing problems with their wrists and hands often need advice about what the best possible solution for their issue is. Many patients don't want to jump the gun and schedule wrist surgery right away. Instead, patients often want to get advice about what the possible treatment options are from specialists, and then use this information to make an informed decision about their care. Doctors at Brown Hand Center can help patients experiencing these problems figure out just what their next move should be in terms of treatment.
Wrist problems are often related to carpal tunnel syndrome, a painful condition in which pressure is placed on the median nerve, causing pain, tingling, numbness, and a variety of other symptoms. If you have carpal tunnel, then this could seriously affect your life in negative ways, and you need to be aware of what they are. If it's too painful to use your hands and wrists in certain ways, then you may end up losing your job or you may not be able to do the hobbies and activities you once enjoyed.
When you visit Brown Hand Center, our hand surgeons will put you through a thorough evaluation to see what the problem is and determine if you really do need to have wrist surgery. If your carpal tunnel is not advanced, then you may be able to fix the problem with other forms of treatment. Surgery can be risky, and it's sometimes better to try other types of treatment before you move on to it. You can try changing the way that you use your hands or wearing a wrist brace at night when you go to bed. Some of these non-surgical forms of treatment may end up being the thing that works for you and helps you to get rid of your pain.
If wrist surgery is the best solution to handle the problems that you are experiencing with your wrist, then the surgeons at Brown Hand Center can take care of everything for you. Our surgeons are well trained and go through a hand fellowship program that prepares them to handle all kinds of hand and wrist issues. You can rest assured that your surgery will be both successful and safe, and you can make the pain associated with your hand or wrist condition go away for good.
