Get treatment for everything from musculoskeletal injuries to long standing neurological disorders and always feel confident that you’re in expert hands.

What Does a Hand Surgeon Do?

A hand surgeon treats injuries and conditions that affect how your hand, fingers, and wrist move and function. This can include broken bones, tendon damage, nerve compression, joint problems, and other issues that interfere with grip strength, coordination, and everyday tasks.

At AICA Orthopedics, our hand specialists work alongside physical therapists, neurologists, chiropractors, pain management providers, and imaging teams to fully evaluate the cause of your symptoms. This coordinated approach helps patients move into treatment with a clearer plan and fewer delays.

When Should You See a Hand Surgeon?

Seeing a hand surgeon does not always mean you need surgery. Many hand surgeons first focus on diagnosing the problem and trying non-surgical treatments. You should consider seeing one when symptoms affect how your hand, wrist, or fingers function in daily life.

  • Pain in the hand, fingers, or wrist that does not improve
  • Swelling, bruising, or tenderness after an injury
  • Trouble gripping, pinching, lifting, or holding objects
  • Numbness or tingling in the fingers or hand
  • Stiffness, weakness, or reduced motion that affects daily tasks

Early evaluation can help identify the cause, prevent the problem from worsening, and guide the appropriate treatment sooner.

Common Hand Conditions Treated by Our Surgeons

Hand conditions can affect strength, flexibility, and coordination in ways that make daily movement frustrating and painful. Our surgeons diagnose and treat conditions such as:

  • Hand Fractures: Broken bones in the hand or fingers that can affect alignment, movement, and grip.
  • Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: Pressure on a nerve in the wrist that may cause numbness, tingling, pain, or weakness.
  • Trigger Finger: A condition that causes a finger to catch, lock, or move painfully.
  • Tendon Injuries: Damage that can make it harder to bend, straighten, or control the fingers and hand.
  • Hand Arthritis: Joint damage that may lead to stiffness, swelling, pain, and reduced motion over time.

Each treatment plan is built around your condition, symptoms, and recovery goals.

Non-Surgical Treatments for Hand Pain Before Surgery

Many hand conditions respond well to non-surgical care, especially when treatment begins before the problem worsens. Depending on your diagnosis, treatment may include:

  • Physical Therapy: Guided exercises and hands-on care to improve movement, strength, coordination, flexibility, and overall hand function during recovery.
  • Cold Laser Therapy: A non-invasive treatment that helps reduce inflammation, support tissue healing, and improve comfort in painful hand and wrist conditions.
  • Physiotherapy: Targeted treatment that may include manual therapy, guided movement, and other techniques to support healing and restore function.
  • Pain Management: Treatment focused on reducing pain, swelling, and irritation through medications, injections, or other supportive care when appropriate.
  • Bracing or Splinting: Supportive devices that help protect the hand or wrist, limit strain, and provide stability while the area heals.
  • Activity Modification: Changes to work, sports, or repetitive movements that may be adding stress to the hand or slowing recovery.

These non-surgical options often reduce pain, improve function, and support recovery without surgery for many patients.

Types of Hand Surgeries We Offer

When surgery is needed, our team offers procedures designed to repair damage, improve hand function, and reduce ongoing pain. The surgical options we offer include:

  • Fracture Repair: Stabilizing broken bones in the hand or fingers so they can heal in better alignment and help preserve proper hand positioning.
  • Tendon Repair: Repairing torn or damaged tendons to improve movement, control, and strength while restoring smoother finger motion.
  • Carpal Tunnel Release: Relieving pressure on the nerve in the wrist to reduce numbness, tingling, and weakness and improve everyday comfort.
  • Trigger Finger Release: Releasing tight tissue so the affected finger can move more smoothly and comfortably with less catching or locking.
  • Joint Reconstruction: Addressing damaged joints to improve function and reduce pain when other treatments are not enough to support long-term use.

Our surgeons recommend treatment based on the type of injury, the level of damage, and your recovery needs.

11,009 Reviews from our Amazing patients

You were kind enough to meet with me, to ensure that I was comfortable with AICA., and took me thru the typical protocol that one would expect after a personal injury. I thank you for that day, because I was new to this type of injury and I had no idea what to expect. It turns out that “everything you said” happened like clockwork. The facility, the care, the efficiency, and the follow-up from the staff and the Doctor was well beyond my expectation.
I am 62 yrs. of age, and over those years I can’t recall when I have ever had a doctor spend as much “quality time” with me explaining the procedures (pre and post-op) in preparing me as a patient. He took great interest in assuring me that I was in good hands, and at the same time made me feel that I was receiving special treatment. As I continued with my appointments I observed that my “special treatment” was not exclusive but was extended to all of his patients, as if they were his personal friends. Something you don’t see very often these days - A doctor with bedside manner.
Again, I appreciate the special care and handling of my injury over the past year, and I thank you for making this a pleasurable experience for me.
