Hand & Wrist Care
at Southern Spine Center
Your hands and wrists power everything from work to sport. At Southern Spine Center, we combine orthopedic excellence, precision diagnostics, and personalized treatment to relieve pain, restore dexterity, and protect long‑term function.
Expertise in Every Detail
Whether symptoms stem from overuse, nerve compression, tendon irritation, or injury, our fellowship‑trained specialists deliver next‑generation solutions tailored to your goals.
Conditions We Treat
From numbness and tingling to catching and swelling, hand & wrist problems can interrupt daily life. We look beyond symptoms to find the root cause and deliver lasting relief.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Compression of the median nerve at the wrist causes numbness, tingling, and weakness. We provide splinting, activity modification, injections, and—when needed—minimally invasive carpal tunnel release.
De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis
Irritation of the tendons on the thumb side of the wrist leads to pain with gripping or lifting. Care may include bracing, targeted therapy, injections, and surgical release for recalcitrant cases.
Trigger Finger
Tendon irritation at the pulley can cause catching or locking of the finger or thumb. Treatments range from rest and splinting to injections and outpatient release when needed.
TFCC Tear (Wrist )
Tears of the triangular fibrocartilage complex can cause ulnar‑sided wrist pain, clicking, or weakness. We use advanced imaging and, when indicated, wrist arthroscopy to repair or debride the injury.
Ganglion Cyst
A fluid‑filled cyst around the wrist or fingers can cause aching, pressure, or cosmetic concern. Options include observation, aspiration, or surgical excision to reduce recurrence.
Hand & Wrist Arthritis
Cartilage wear in the small joints leads to stiffness, swelling, and pain with pinch or grip. We tailor care with splints, therapy, injections, and surgical reconstruction when appropriate.
Cutting‑Edge Treatments
Carpal Tunnel Release
We offer minimally invasive carpal tunnel release techniques designed to relieve nerve pressure and accelerate recovery of strength and sensation.
Wrist Arthroscopy
A minimally invasive approach for TFCC tears, cartilage injuries, and select ligament problems—allowing precise diagnosis and treatment with smaller incisions.
PRP Injection
Platelet‑Rich Plasma may be considered for certain chronic tendon or joint issues. We determine candidacy and perform ultrasound‑guided injections, integrated with a customized rehab plan.
Sports Injury
From sprains and tendon tears to fractures, our sports medicine protocol blends accurate diagnosis, stabilization, and graded return‑to‑play strategies tailored to your sport and season.
