You rely on your hands and wrists all day long to get things done. But injuries and other conditions can interfere with your ability to handle even the simplest tasks, whether it’s opening jars or walking your dog.

At UW Medicine, we can help you live better and heal faster. Our team approach to your care means you receive the most personalized treatment possible. Our hand specialists — including doctors trained in nonsurgical care, hand surgeons and hand therapists — take a thoughtful approach to planning your care. We take the time to listen to you, discuss the diagnosis with you and work with you to develop a care plan that’s tailored to your needs.

Our doctors have advanced training and certification in sports medicine. They include physical medicine and rehabilitation doctors, called physiatrists, family medicine doctors and orthopedic surgeons. Just as professional sports teams rely on our doctors as their physicians, you can trust us to get you back to the activities you love.

The focus of our nonsurgical treatment is active rehabilitation.

If surgery is necessary, we use minimally invasive options whenever possible. Our hand and wrist surgeons are ranked among the best in the nation, helping people get back to activities they love.
