Hand Doctor Torrance

We Take Our Hands for Granted

When going about our daily routine, we use our hands for just about every activity that we do. Whether it is cooking a meal, playing sports, or writing an essay our hands are utilized in a myriad of ways for our daily activities. It may be due to this constant use of our hands, but we seldom acknowledge the importance of their healthy function. We do, however, become cognizant of the delicate nature of our hands’ function when they have been injured. If this is the situation in which you find yourself, look no further than the Hand and Wrist Institute for relief. We have conveniently located offices in Orange County or Beverly Hills to treat out Torrance patients.

Common Ailments and Injuries

Not only is it the fastest growing occupational illness in the United States, it’s also the number one cause of productive days lost due to work-related injuries. Wrist movements inside a normal range of motion considerably affect the width and shape of the carpal tunnel walls, and an unhealthy level of compression on the median nerve can result even from repeated non-intensive hand/wrist activities such as typing. When pain and discomfort begin to accompany seemingly everyday tasks, a diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome is sure to follow.
