Hand Pain Treatment in Pittsburgh, PA: Regain Strength, Sensation, and Control—Without Surgery


Struggling with Hand Pain, Weakness, or Numbness?

Do your hands hurt when performing everyday tasks? Are you dropping objects, struggling to button a shirt, or finding it difficult to grip and hold small items? You’re not alone.

Hand pain can be caused by a wide range of conditions including injury, arthritis, nerve compression, inflammation, or tendon and ligament dysfunction. Symptoms often include:

  • Numbness or tingling (pins and needles)

  • Burning sensations

  • Muscle weakness

  • Pain with fine motor movements

  • Difficulty sleeping due to hand discomfort

Over time, even basic activities like opening a jar, tying shoelaces, or dressing yourself can become frustratingly difficult.

If you’ve tried various therapies or medications without results, there is hope—and you don’t have to live with pain.
