Hand
With our hands and fingers, we are able to perform nearly every daily task, from getting dressed in the morning to working, cooking, exercising, and caring for our families. When hand pain or injury occurs, even simple activities can become difficult and frustrating.
At The Hand Center, our hand doctors specialize in diagnosing and treating conditions of the hand. With convenient locations in Glastonbury, Farmington, Tolland, Bloomfield, and Torrington, we provide expert care for patients of all ages throughout Connecticut.
From minor injuries to complex reconstructive procedures, our team has the experience and advanced training to deliver comprehensive care. We evaluate, diagnose, and treat a wide range of hand conditions, including:
- Arthritis
- Brachial plexus injuries
- Nerve compression & nerve injuries
- Sports medicine injuries
- Tendon injuries
- Tumors & masses
Know When It’s Time to See a Hand Doctor
If you believe your pain may be related to a hand injury or condition or if you are experiencing any of the symptoms below, it is important to consult a hand specialist:
- Finger joint pain
- Grinding sensation when moving the fingers or hands
- Hand & arm pain that worsens over time
- Numbness, tingling, or throbbing while resting or sleeping
- Swelling & discomfort
- Thumb joint pain
You should also see a hand doctor if your skin becomes red, warm, increasingly sensitive, or swollen, as these may be signs of infection. Because we rely on our hands throughout the day, pain typically does not resolve on its own without proper diagnosis and treatment.
