HAND AND WRIST CARE Our hands and wrists are intricately involved in our activities of daily living, our work and our recreation. They can become painful or injured through trauma, overuse or arthritis.  Chronic overuse can cause the tendons of the hand to swell which can then crowd and pinch the nerve in the hand causing night numbness and pain. That can be carpal tunnel syndrome. Chronically swollen tendons in the hand can cause problems in finger motion such as snapping or locking. That can be trigger finger. Dr. O’Meara provides treatment for sprains, tendonitis, ganglion cysts, carpal tunnel syndrome, trigger finger and other conditions of the wrist and hand.
