If hand or wrist pain is making daily tasks feel impossible, a corticosteroid injection might be the solution you've been looking for.

These quick, in-office treatments can reduce inflammation and ease pain caused by arthritis, tendonitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, trigger finger, and De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis.

Most patients feel relief within days and results can last for weeks or even months. It's a powerful way to treat the problem at the source, without surgery.

Not sure if it’s right for you? I’m here to help you weigh the options.

From sprains, fractures, tendon injuries, or joint instability, splints play a crucial role in recovery by immobilizing the injured area, reducing pain, and promoting proper healing.

Whether it’s a custom-made splint or a temporary one used right after injury, getting evaluated by a hand specialist is key to ensuring the best outcome.

If you’ve injured your hand, wrist, or fingers, don’t wait. Early treatment and proper splinting can make all the difference.

Call our office today at 610-973-6200 to schedule an evaluation and get back to doing what you love, pain-free.

Elbow bursitis also known as olecranon bursitis is a condition where the bursa which is a small fluid filled sac at the bony tip of the elbow becomes inflamed and swollen.

This can be caused by prolonged pressure, trauma, infection, or certain medical conditions like rheumatoid arthritis. Common signs include swelling, warmth, pain, or restricted movement. Most cases can be treated with ice, rest, or draining the fluid.

It’s important to get it checked especially if there’s pain or if swelling doesn’t go down. If you’re experiencing elbow discomfort, schedule an appointment to come get it checked out. Call 610-973-6200.

06/04/2025

A boutonniere deformity is a condition in which the middle joint of the finger (PIP) bends inward while the fingertip joint (DIP) extends outward, creating a buttonhole like appearance.
This results from trauma or from conditions like rheumatoid arthritis. Without treatment this deformity can become permanent and limit hand function.
Early splinting and therapy can make a difference in treatment but in some cases, surgery is required.

Think you may have this condition? Schedule an appointment today at 610-973-6200.
