Chestnut Hill Center on the Hill, 8855 Germantown Avenue (behind the church)
Wrist and hand pain has many causes, including injury and disease. Fortunately, many of those causes can be treated and the symptoms eased. The hand and wrist have multiple small joints that work together to produce motion, including the fine motion needed to thread a needle or tie a shoelace. When joint movement causes pain, activities of daily living can be difficult. Tendinitis, arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome and fractures are a few common causes of discomfort. Hesham Adelfattah, M.D., Temple Orthopedics and Sports Medicine at Chestnut Hill Hospital, specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of disorders and injuries of the hand and wrist. He will discuss surgical and nonsurgical treatments for pain and give you some tips on how to keep your hands and wrists healthy. Bring your questions. To register please call Leslie Lefer at Center on the Hill at 215-247-4654.
