Many patients in Blairsville experience thumb pain that worsens with age or daily activity. Fortunately, specialized care is available just a short drive away in Dawsonville. At Specialty Orthopaedics, board-certified orthopedic hand surgeon Dr. Thomas Neustein provides advanced evaluation and treatment for thumb arthritis, also known as basal joint arthritis. His Dawsonville office offers both conservative and surgical options for this very treatable condition, helping patients regain comfort, motion, and grip strength.
Thumb arthritis is one of the most common causes of hand pain in adults, often making it difficult to bend, grip, or rest the hand comfortably. This condition develops when the cartilage that cushions the thumb joint wears away, exposing the arthritic bone surfaces to direct contact. Over time, the joint becomes inflamed, swollen, and painful. The thumb may even shift out of alignment, making simple activities like turning keys or opening jars difficult.
If you've been struggling with wrist pain, tingling, or numbness in your hand, you may be experiencing carpal tunnel syndrome. This common nerve compression condition occurs when the median nerve becomes trapped inside the carpal tunnel space—a narrow passage in the wrist surrounded by bones, tendons, and the transverse carpal ligament. The result is pressure on the nerve that can cause burning sensations, weakness, and diminished grip strength in the hand, wrist, and arm.
