Comprehensive Hand Care

At Golden State Orthopedics & Spine, we know how vital your hands are to daily life. From work to recreation to basic self-care, hand injuries or conditions can greatly impact your quality of life. Our fellowship-trained hand doctors provide advanced, patient-focused care for a wide range of hand problems—from simple injuries to complex conditions—helping you restore function and get back to the activities you enjoy.

When Should I Seek Treatment From a Hand Doctor?

Many hand conditions can be treated without surgery, especially if addressed early. Our specialists carefully evaluate your symptoms and design the most effective, least invasive treatment plan possible.

Signs you may need to see a hand specialist:

  • Difficulty gripping, pinching, or performing fine motor tasks
  • Fingers locking, catching, or unable to straighten fully
  • Lingering discomfort or loss of function after an injury
  • Numbness, tingling, or weakness in the fingers
  • Persistent hand pain or stiffness
  • Swelling, tenderness, or visible deformity

Conditions commonly addressed by our hand specialists include:

  • Arthritis affecting hand joints
  • Carpal tunnel syndrome and other nerve compressions
  • Dupuytren’s contracture causing finger contractures
  • Finger fractures, sprains, and tendon injuries
  • Trigger finger and other tendon disorders

What to Expect With Our Hand Doctors

At Golden State Orthopedics & Spine, we create personalized treatment plans based on your condition, activity level, and goals. We emphasize conservative care first, such as bracing, therapy, or injections. If surgery is needed, our doctors offer advanced techniques for nerve release, tendon repair, fracture stabilization, and reconstructive hand surgery. From your first appointment through full recovery, our team is committed to restoring strength, mobility, and function to your hand.
