Relief for Joint Pain That Limits Your Grip, Dexterity, and Daily Activity
Arthritis in the hand or wrist can gradually affect how you write, grip, twist, or lift. When joint surfaces wear down, the bones rub together, causing stiffness, swelling, and pain. Left untreated, arthritis can make even small movements difficult or impossible.
At Michigan Orthopedic Center, our orthopedic specialists offer comprehensive care for hand and wrist arthritis. Whether you’re managing early symptoms or advanced joint damage, we provide both surgical and non-surgical options to reduce pain and restore function.
Common Types of Wrist and Hand Arthritis
Thumb Arthritis (Basal Joint or CMC Arthritis)
Finger Arthritis (PIP and DIP Joints)
Wrist Arthritis
Signs You Shouldn’t Ignore
- Joint stiffness or aching, especially in the morning
- Loss of grip strength or difficulty holding objects
- Pain with pinching, twisting, or lifting
- Visible swelling, bumps, or joint deformity
If these symptoms interfere with work or daily activities, a proper diagnosis can help you avoid further joint damage.
