Numbness in the Hand

Great Falls, VA

Experiencing numbness or a “pins and needles” sensation in your hands can be unsettling and uncomfortable. These symptoms often signal an underlying issue that, when addressed promptly by a specialist, can be managed effectively. Numbness typically arises from nerve compression or damage within the hand and wrist, impacting how you feel and control your movements.

At Nirschl Orthopaedic Center, our hand and wrist specialists can provide an initial diagnosis and recommend a conservative treatment program to get you on the path to improvement. Located just minutes away from Washington, D.C., we see patients from Great Falls, Virginia, and the nearby areas.

Common Causes of Hand and Wrist Numbness

Several conditions can lead to these sensations, including carpal tunnel syndrome, where the median nerve is compressed as it travels through the wrist. This is often linked to repetitive motion or strain. Other causes might include nerve damage from diabetes, injuries, or systemic diseases that affect nerve function.

It’s important to schedule an appointment with a hand and wrist specialist to get a definitive diagnosis for numbness in the hand, so you can begin treatment.
