Hand, Wrist, & Elbow

You may be surprised to learn that the hand and wrist are actually very delicate areas of the body. Your hand and wrist contains an intricate network of nerves and blood vessels, as well as bones and tendons, ligaments, muscles, some of which extend to the elbow. Wrist injury, hand disorders, and elbow conditions are common and can cause pain, loss of sensation, loss of movement, and impaired function. A problem in these areas must be dealt with very carefully because of all the structures and functions involved. At Northview Associates, you can receive the prompt appointments you need for medical care, diagnostic imaging, surgery, and rehabilitation. We are committed to providing you with streamlined care so that you may return to work or your favorite activities as quickly as possible.

Carpal tunnel syndrome is a common condition that occurs when the median nerve in the wrist is compressed and does not function properly. Symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome include numbness, pain, and tingling in the fingers, wrists, and arms. If you suspect that you have carpal tunnel syndrome, please schedule an appointment at Northview Associates by calling (706) 864-7904. Our Board-Certified Orthopaedic Surgeons are well-versed in nonsurgical and surgical treatments for carpal tunnel syndrome.
