Flexor tendon injuries can make everyday movements surprisingly difficult. These tendons allow you to bend your fingers and grip, so when they’re damaged, you might notice pain in the palm, trouble bending a finger, a snapping sensation during the injury, or even numbness in the fingertip.

Even if the symptoms seem mild at first, flexor tendon injuries often require timely medical care to heal properly. Early evaluation can prevent long-term stiffness or loss of motion and help you get back to normal function faster.

If something doesn’t feel right, don’t wait to have it checked. Call us today to schedule an appointment.
