What to Expect During a Visit to a Hand Clinic
When you visit a hand clinic, you can expect to undergo a comprehensive evaluation. Your doctor will review your medical history and symptoms, and conduct a physical examination. You may also undergo imaging tests, such as x-rays or MRI, to help diagnose your condition.
After diagnosis, your doctor will develop a treatment plan tailored to your needs. Treatment may include medication, physical therapy, splinting, and surgery. Your doctor will discuss the risks and benefits of each treatment option with you so that you can make an informed decision.
