Your hands can distinguish between incredibly fine textures even with your eyes closed! That's because your fingertips contain some of the highest concentrations of touch receptors in the body.

Pretty impressive for something you use every day without thinking about it!

Friday Hand Facts!

Think your fingers have bones all the way through? Not quite!

Fun Fact: Your thumb has 2 bones, while each of your other fingers has 3 bones. That's one reason your thumb is so unique and so important!

Thanks to your opposable thumb, you can:
Button a shirt
Hold a pencil
Open a jar
Text your friends
Give a thumbs up!

In fact, the thumb contributes nearly half of your hand's overall function, making it one of the most valuable tools you use every day.

If thumb pain, arthritis, triggering, or an injury is making everyday tasks difficult, specialized treatment can help restore comfort and function.

💙 Dr. Stephen Helgemo and the team at Florida Hand Center are committed to keeping your hands healthy so you can keep doing the things you love.

Is Your Hand Trying to Tell You Something?

Do you wake up with numbness or tingling in your thumb, index, or middle fingers? Do your hands feel weak when gripping objects, typing, or holding your phone?

These could be signs of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, a common condition caused by pressure on the median nerve as it passes through the wrist.

Common symptoms include:
Numbness or tingling in the fingers
Hand weakness or dropping objects
Pain that may travel into the forearm
Symptoms that worsen at night

The good news? Early diagnosis and treatment can help prevent symptoms from getting worse and improve your hand function.

At the Florida Hand Center, Dr. Stephen Helgemo provides expert evaluation and treatment options tailored to your needs from conservative care to advanced surgical solutions when necessary.

Don't ignore persistent hand numbness or pain. Your hands deserve expert care.
