Health & Wellness January: Smart Pain Management ✋🦴🩺✨

Check out a brief summary of Dr. Sagini’s article from the new January 2026 edition of Lee County Health & Wellness Magazine below!

Understanding Modern Pain Management
The approach to treating exercise-related injuries has shifted away from narcotic pain medications and toward safer, more targeted solutions. As Dr. Sagini explains, the goal is to control pain while preserving function, supporting healing, and avoiding the well-documented risks of opioid dependence.

The Regional Block Advantage
Regional and local nerve blocks provide precise pain relief by targeting the injured area rather than the entire body. For common hand, wrist, and elbow injuries seen in activities like weightlifting, tennis, and golf, nerve blocks can offer 12–24 hours of significant pain control without the nausea, sedation, or cognitive impairment associated with narcotics. This allows patients to remain alert, functional, and comfortable during early recovery.

The Anti-Inflammatory Foundation
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) remain a key component of exercise injury management. By addressing inflammation—the primary source of pain—these medications help reduce swelling, improve mobility, and promote healing when used appropriately. Dr. Sagini emphasizes strategic use during the first 48–72 hours after injury to optimize recovery while minimizing risk.

Ice and Supportive Care
Simple measures like ice therapy continue to play an essential role. Applying ice for 15–20 minutes every 2–3 hours during the acute phase helps limit swelling, numb pain, and provide effective relief without medication. When combined with guided activity modification and physical therapy, these tools support safe, steady return to function.

A Comprehensive, Non-Narcotic Approach
Dr. Sagini stresses that the most effective pain management plans are individualized and multi-modal. By combining regional nerve blocks, anti-inflammatory medications, ice therapy, and rehabilitation, physicians can manage pain while promoting true healing. This comprehensive approach reduces reliance on narcotics, protects patients from unnecessary risks, and supports a faster, safer return to the activities they enjoy.

Thumb Pain & Weak Pinch - CMC Arthritis (Thumb Basal Joint Arthritis)

What is CMC Arthritis? 👍🔥
Arthritis of the base of the thumb, also called carpometacarpal (CMC) arthritis or basal joint arthritis, is one of the most common forms of osteoarthritis in the hand. In a healthy joint, cartilage covers the ends of the bones and acts as a smooth, protective shock absorber. In osteoarthritis (OA), that cartilage wears down over time. When this happens at the base of the thumb, the two bones that form the CMC joint, the trapezium (a small wrist bone) and the first metacarpal (the first thumb bone), begin to rub directly against each other. Because the CMC joint is a specialized saddle-shaped joint that allows the thumb to move up, down, across the palm, and pinch, degeneration here leads to pain, weakness, and sometimes deformity.

Symptoms of CMC Arthritis ⚡👍✋
- Pain at the base of the thumb, especially with pinching (opening jars, turning keys, writing).
- A visible bump at the base of the thumb due to joint malalignment.
- Weak grip and pinch strength.
- A grinding or clicking sensation in the joint.

Who Gets It? 👩‍🦳🧬📈
- Most common in women over age 40.
- Genetics may increase the likelihood.
- Previous injuries (fractures, dislocations).
- Generalized joint laxity or loose ligaments.

Diagnosis 🩺📋🔍
- Diagnosis is made through history and physical examination.
- Pain with pressure or movement of the CMC joint.
- Possible grinding sensation (crepitus).
- X-rays help confirm joint space narrowing, bone changes, or deformity, though symptoms don’t always match x-ray severity.

Treatment 💊👍🧑‍⚕️🛠️
CMC arthritis that is mild or moderate often responds well to non-surgical care. Many patients find relief with activity modification, arthritis medication, and the use of supportive splints—either soft or rigid—during daily tasks or at night. Hand therapy can also help improve strength and reduce stress on the joint, and limited cortisone injections may temporarily ease inflammation and pain. For those with more advanced arthritis or symptoms that continue despite conservative treatment, several surgical options exist. These may include removal of the arthritic bone with joint reconstruction, joint fusion for stability, bone realignment, or even arthroscopy in select cases. Your hand surgeon can help determine which approach best fits your needs and goals.

Health & Wellness October: The Essential Role of Splints in Orthopedic Hand Surgery ✋🦴🩺✨

Check out a brief summary of Dr. Sagini's article from the October 2025 edition of Lee County Health and Wellness Magazine below!

Understanding Splints in Hand Surgery
Splints are adjustable external devices that support, protect, and immobilize injured or surgically treated hands while allowing controlled flexibility as healing progresses. As Dr. Dennis Sagini explains, they bridge the gap between surgery and full recovery by protecting tissues, maintaining alignment, preventing stiffness, reducing pain and swelling, and enabling safe, gradual movement.

Types of Splints for Different Conditions
Different hand conditions call for specific splint types: static splints immobilize fully, dynamic splints allow controlled movement, and serial static splints are adjusted to restore motion. These approaches are used for fractures, tendon and ligament injuries, post-surgical care, arthritis, and nerve compression conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome.

The Treatment and Recovery Process
Dr. Sagini stresses that splinting must be precisely tailored, as too little support hinders healing while too much causes stiffness. Splinting typically progresses from immediate post-surgical protection to controlled movement, then to functional support for daily activities, and finally gradual weaning as strength and mobility return.

Benefits of In-Office Splint Services
With our new DME license, patients can receive immediate, custom-made splints in-office, eliminating the need for separate appointments and reducing delays. As Dr. Sagini explains, providing splints directly allows for precise fitting, quick adjustments, coordinated care, and overall improved outcomes and patient satisfaction.
