An injury to your hand, wrist, elbow, or upper arm can adversely affect your life. Even the simplest everyday activities and movements can be difficult or painful.
There are 27 bones in the hand and wrist, along with tendons, ligaments, and muscles to connect them. That makes the hand and wrist prone to injury. Timely, proper treatment is essential for the overall, long-term health of the hand or arm. Without proper care of an injury, there’s a potential for long-term pain, stiffness, arthritis, or limited mobility later in life.
