Wrist & Hand Conditions We Treat
Numb fingers and aching wrists can start at the wrist, the elbow, or the neck. We check the whole path.
Your hands are where nerve problems become impossible to ignore. Tingling fingers, weak grip, and wrist pain interfere with typing, tools, and daily life, and the cause is not always where the symptoms are.
The nerves that supply your hand start at the neck and pass through several tunnels on the way down. Dr. Farmer examines that entire path, including the cervical spine, so a neck-driven problem does not get treated as a wrist problem or the other way around.
Treatment is conservative and matched to the diagnosis, from joint work and nerve gliding guidance to SoftWave therapy for soft tissue irritation.

Wrist & Hand Conditions We Help With
The complaints below account for most of the wrist and hand cases we see in our Nashville office.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Numbness and tingling in the thumb and first fingers, often worse at night. We confirm where the median nerve is actually being compressed before treating.
Wrist & Hand Pain
From repetitive strain to old injuries that never fully resolved, we evaluate the joints and soft tissue of the wrist and hand together.
Trigger Finger
A finger that catches or locks as you bend it involves an irritated tendon sheath. Conservative care may calm the irritation and restore smooth motion.
Wrist & Hand FAQ
It depends on which fingers are affected and where the nerve is compressed, which can be at the wrist, the elbow, or the neck. The exam sorts that out, and it matters, because the treatments differ.
When symptoms involve nerve irritation along the path from the neck to the hand, addressing mechanics along that path may reduce them. We are candid when a case is severe enough to need a surgical consult.
Neutral wrist position, keyboard and mouse height, and regular movement breaks all matter. We include practical ergonomic coaching in care plans for desk-driven cases.
