Hand, Wrist, and Upper Extremity Care

Helping You Stay Independent and Active

From writing a note to lifting groceries, your hands and arms play a vital role in your daily life. When pain, stiffness, or injury affects your upper extremities, it can make even simple tasks feel challenging.

At Holy Cross Health, our orthopedic specialists provide expert care for hand, wrist, and arm conditions using advanced techniques and a personalized approach. Whether you're dealing with arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, or a tendon injury, we’re here to help restore strength, reduce pain, and improve function—so you can get back to living life with confidence and ease.

What We Treat

Pain, stiffness, or injury in the hands, wrists, elbows, or arms can make everyday tasks more difficult. At Holy Cross Health, our orthopedic specialists diagnose and treat a wide range of upper extremity conditions to help you regain comfort and function.

We treat:
•  Carpal Tunnel Syndrome – numbness, tingling, or weakness in the hand
•  Trigger Finger – a condition that causes fingers to lock or catch when bent
•  Arthritis of the Hand and Wrist – joint pain and stiffness that limits movement
•  Tendonitis – inflammation of tendons causing pain and reduced mobility
•  Rotator Cuff Injuries – shoulder pain and weakness from tendon damage
•  Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis) – pain on the outside of the elbow from overuse
•  Fractures and Dislocations – broken or misaligned bones in the upper extremities

Advanced Treatment Options

Your care begins with a thorough evaluation and diagnostic testing to understand your condition and goals. Based on your needs, your personalized treatment plan may include:

• Occupational or Physical Therapy – to improve strength, flexibility, and function
• Corticosteroid Injections – to reduce inflammation and relieve pain
• Custom Splinting or Bracing – to support healing and protect joints
• Activity Modification and Ergonomic Guidance – to prevent further strain and promote recovery

Our goal is to help you return to the activities you enjoy—comfortably and confidently.

Surgical Treatment Options

When nonsurgical treatments no longer provide relief, surgery may be the best path forward. At Holy Cross Health, our board-certified orthopedic specialists offer advanced procedures designed to restore function, reduce pain, and improve your quality of life.

We perform:

• Carpal Tunnel Release – to relieve pressure on the median nerve and restore hand function
• Tendon and Ligament Repair – to treat injuries that affect movement and stability
• Fracture Fixation – to realign and stabilize broken bones for proper healing
• Shoulder Arthroscopy – a minimally invasive procedure to diagnose and treat shoulder joint problems

Whether your condition is recent or long-standing, our team is here to guide you through every step of your surgical journey—from evaluation to recovery—with personalized care and support.
