Conditions

Children are not simply young adults. The growing skeleton has many unique features, as does each child. Our active youth are involved in a wide variety of activities, and it seems like bumps, bruises, and even broken bones are an inevitable part of growing up.

Arthritis may be due to several reasons, such as previous trauma, chronic rotator cuff dysfunction, osteoarthritis, or rheumatoid arthritis. A painful shoulder can make it difficult to do many of life’s most simple activities, such as putting your shirt on, grabbing a seatbelt, and raising your hand over your head.

Injuries both small and large can injure the tendons in the hand and fingers. Tendons are the connective structures that attach the muscle to bone and cause movement of our joints.

There are many types of arthritis that can cause pain and loss of ability to the fingers, thumb, hand, and wrist. Osteoarthritis, sometimes referred to as degenerative arthritis, as well as Rheumatoid Arthritis and other less common conditions can all be treated with medicines, therapy, or surgery.
