Big congratulations to Dr. Damion Walker on being recognized in the Wichita Business Journal’s Excellence in Health Care Spotlight for January 2026!

From athlete to orthopaedic surgeon, Dr. Walker’s firsthand experience with injury and recovery fuels his passion for improving patients’ quality of life. A true innovator, Dr. Walker introduced Mako robotic-assisted joint replacement to Kansas 10 years ago and, most recently, became the first in Kansas and the Midwest to perform a Mako robotic-assisted total shoulder replacement.

Wrist tendinitis occurs when the tendons around the wrist become irritated or inflamed—often from overuse, repetitive motion, or sudden increases in activity. Symptoms may include pain with movement, swelling, stiffness, and reduced grip strength.

When caught early, most cases improve with rest, activity modification, splinting, and physical therapy. Persistent pain may require guidance from a specialist.

If you think you have wrist tendinitis, call us today!
