Finger Injuries - Our fingers are always at risk of being injured. The blood pools under the nail and a black nail develops. At times this may require special treatment to drain the blood to encourage healing. If these cuts are deep enough they could sever a nerve, blood vessel, tendon, ligament or muscle. The amount of surgical intervention will depend onhow severe the injury is.
Hand therapy is recommended to loosen scar tissue and increase mobility.
This is usually caused by overuse or continued stress to the wrist. This compresses the nerve at the wrist. Treatment for this condition depends on the severity of the injury. It can range from simple splinting to surgical intervention. The main objective in any treatment is to relieve the compression on the nerve.
