"Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Carpal tunnel syndrome is a common hand problem resulting from pressure on the median nerve at the wrist. Symptoms, which are often worse at night, consist of numbness and/or pain in the wrist and fingers. Eventually there may be loss of strength, fine motor control, and sensation.

Early treatment consists of splinting and anti-inflammatory medication. If symptoms do not improve, an outpatient surgical procedure to relieve the pressure on the nerve is recommended.

Trigger Finger

The tendons of the thumb and each of the fingers pass through a sheath on the palm side of the hand. Certain diseases and overuse activities can cause a thickening of this sheath. As the tendon passes through a thickened sheath, the tendon may eventually become irritated and swollen. Pain, catching and eventually locking of the finger may occur. Early treatment consists of anti-inflammatory medication or cortisone injections. If these fail to provide relief, the sheath is opened surgically through a small incision at the base of the finger.

The plantar fascia is a thick band of tissue that lies at the bottom of the foot, running from the heel bone to the toe. It functions as a shock absorber, and also supports the arch of the foot.

"ARTHRITIS
Arthritis involves damage to the joints in our feet and ankles. Cartilage lines the bones in our joints and can be damaged by aging (“wear and tear”), injury (trauma), and conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis or gout. As the cartilage wears, the bones can rub on each other and cause symptoms."
