Hand Pain 

Hand Pain Treatment: Expert Care for Lasting Relief

Your hands are essential to almost every daily task—from typing and cooking to holding your loved ones. So when hand pain strikes, it can significantly affect your quality of life. Whether caused by injury, repetitive strain, or a chronic condition, early diagnosis and proper hand pain treatment are key to restoring mobility and relieving discomfort.

At Singapore Sports and Orthoapedic Clinic, our orthopaedic specialists provide accurate diagnosis and customised treatment plans to help you regain function, strength, and comfort in your hands.

Common Causes of Hand Pain

Hand pain can result from a wide range of conditions. Some of the most common orthopaedic causes include:

1. Arthritis

• Osteoarthritis (wear-and-tear of joints) and Rheumatoid arthritis (autoimmune inflammation) are common culprits of hand stiffness, swelling, and pain.

2. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

• Caused by pressure on the median nerve, leading to numbness, tingling, and weakness in the hand, especially in the thumb, index, and middle fingers.

3. Trigger Finger

• A condition where the finger gets stuck in a bent position and then snaps straight, often with pain and stiffness.

4. Tendonitis

• Inflammation of the tendons in the hand or wrist due to overuse, repetitive motion, or injury.

5. De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis

• A painful condition affecting the tendons on the thumb side of the wrist, especially common in new parents or individuals who frequently lift objects.

6. Fractures or Sprains

• Direct trauma or falls can cause bone fractures or ligament injuries in the hand. When these ligaments are stretched or torn due to excessive force, it results in a sprain.

• Boxer Fracture 
• Ganglion 
• Swan Neck Deformity 
• Thumb Ulnar Collateral Ligament Injury 
• Dupuytren’s contracture 

Hand Pain Treatment Options

Your treatment will depend on the underlying cause of your hand pain. Our comprehensive approach includes both non-surgical and surgical methods:

Conservative Treatments:

• Rest and activity modification to reduce strain

• Splinting or bracing to support healing

• Anti-inflammatory medications to manage pain and swelling

• Physiotherapy to restore strength and flexibility

• Corticosteroid injections for targeted inflammation relief

Advanced Surgical Treatments:

If conservative treatment doesn’t improve symptoms, surgery may be considered for:

• Carpal Tunnel Release

• Trigger Finger Release

• Tendon or ligament repair

• Fracture fixation

• Joint replacement (in severe arthritis cases)

Our orthopaedic surgeons use minimally invasive techniques whenever possible, helping to reduce recovery time and post-operative discomfort.
