The physicians in the Holy Cross Orthopedic Medical Group have a reputation for excellence in evaluating and managing problems involving pain or injury in the arm, forearm, wrist and hand.
This includes management of:

Utilizing splinting, hand therapy and local injection, painful disorders of the hands are often treated without surgery. Complex dysfunction associated with stroke and neurologic disorders are the domain of the hand surgeon as well.
Correction of deformities, relief of pain, and restoration of mobility and function are accomplished through the latest medical treatments, including medication, well-honed surgical techniques and/or rigorous rehabilitation.
