Hand and Wrist

Our orthopedic specialists can help alleviate hand and wrist pain and restore strength and flexibility

At Novant Health Thomasville Medical Center, we specialize in everything from arthritis and carpal tunnel syndrome to nerve disorders and work-related injuries.

Many hand and wrist conditions can be treated effectively with rehabilitative therapy or medication, but should you require surgical treatment, our medical team can treat the problem with the most advanced surgical techniques available. We use sophisticated diagnostic imaging and specialized techniques to reduce pain, shorten recovery time and accelerate rehabilitation. If necessary, we provide case managers to help coordinate post-operative care, including rehabilitation.
