Commonly asked questions

Common treatments include medications for pain relief and to prevent nerve spasms, hand splints to support hands and hopefully provide comfort, physical therapy to help restore strength in the thumb, wrist, and hand, and occupational therapy to prevent palsy or injury from getting worse.
