Treatments

Hand and wrist treatments, clearly explained.

A guide to the conditions we treat. Each page covers what the problem is, how it’s diagnosed and what the realistic options are, from splints and therapy to a day-case operation.

Nerve conditions

3 treatments

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Carpal tunnel syndrome involves compression of the median nerve at the wrist, causing tingling, numbness, and finger pain that often worsens at night or during activity.

Cubital Tunnel Syndrome

Cubital tunnel syndrome involves ulnar nerve compression at the inner elbow. It causes persistent numbness, tingling, and progressive weakness affecting the ring and little fingers.

Lacertus Syndrome

Ms Anna Moon treats Lacertus syndrome in Worcester and Solihull, addressing proximal median nerve compression often mistaken for carpal tunnel syndrome.

Tendon conditions

4 treatments

Trigger Finger

Trigger finger occurs when a flexor tendon becomes inflamed, causing the affected finger or thumb to catch, click, or lock awkwardly when bending into the palm of your hand.

Tendon / Ligament Repair

Traumatic cuts or tears to hand tendons and ligaments require prompt surgical repair and guided hand therapy to fully restore joint stability, grip strength, and range of motion.

Nerve Damage / Compression

Traumatic nerve cuts or compression injuries in the hand and wrist cause sharp pain, loss of feeling, and weakness, requiring prompt specialist evaluation and tailored care.

De Quervain’s

De Quervain’s syndrome is painful tendon inflammation on the thumb side of the wrist, making everyday pinching, lifting, and wrist twisting movements uncomfortable.

Joint and arthritis

4 treatments

Osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis causes progressive cartilage wear across finger, thumb, and wrist joints. It leads to persistent joint pain, stiffness, swelling, and reduced daily hand function.

Hand and Wrist Pain

Persistent hand or wrist pain can stem from nerve entrapment, tendonitis, arthritis, or trauma. Detailed assessment identifies the exact root cause to guide targeted relief.

Wrist Fractures

A wrist fracture involves a break in the radius, ulna, or carpal bones. Specialist care ensures accurate bone alignment, sound healing, and optimal long-term recovery.

Rheumatoid / Inflammatory Arthritis

An autoimmune condition where the body attacks joint linings in both hands symmetrically, causing chronic joint swelling, pain, stiffness, and potential tendon damage.

Lumps and contractures

3 treatments

Dupuytren’s Contracture

Dupuytren’s contracture causes thickening of tissue beneath the palm skin, forming fibrous cords that gradually pull the ring and little fingers into a fixed bent position.

Contracture

Contracture is a progressive tightening of palmar skin, tendons, or connective tissue that restricts full joint extension and pulls fingers into an unnatural bent position.

Ganglion Cyst

A ganglion cyst is a benign, fluid-filled swelling arising from a joint capsule or tendon sheath in the hand or wrist, occasionally causing localized aching and discomfort.

Trauma and fractures

1 treatment

Sports Injuries

Athletic hand, finger, and wrist injuries require prompt evaluation to prevent long-term joint instability, chronic pain, and lasting loss of overall hand function.

Bone Health

1 treatment

REMS Bone Density Scan

REMS is an advanced, 100% radiation-free ultrasound technology evaluating bone mineral density and structural quality to assess osteoporosis risk at the spine and hip.
