Fine motor, big impact

Hand & wrist care that protects how you work and live.

Your hands do everything. Dr. Bastian treats the fractures, nerve problems, tendon injuries and arthritis that get in the way.

Quick answer

Dr. Bastian treats hand and wrist fractures, carpal tunnel syndrome, tendon injuries, sprains and arthritis — with both non-surgical care and surgery when needed.

Small structures, real consequences

Problems in the hand and wrist can affect grip, sensation and your ability to do your job. Because these structures are intricate, precise diagnosis and careful treatment matter.

Many conditions — like early carpal tunnel or a stable fracture — respond well to splinting, therapy or injections. When surgery is needed, it’s often a focused, outpatient procedure.

What to expect

Dr. Bastian will assess your hand or wrist, review any X-rays, and explain your options. Many problems can be managed without surgery; when an operation helps, he’ll explain exactly what to expect.

Dr. Bastian believes in conservative care first when it makes sense — many problems improve with therapy, injections, bracing or time. When surgery is the right answer, he’ll explain exactly why, what it involves, and what recovery looks like, so you can decide with confidence.

Common questions

Hand & Wrist FAQs

How do I know if I have carpal tunnel syndrome? +
Common signs are numbness or tingling in the thumb, index and middle fingers — often worse at night. An exam and sometimes nerve testing confirm it. Early cases often improve with splinting; persistent cases may benefit from a quick release procedure.
Does a broken wrist always need surgery? +
No. Many wrist fractures heal well in a cast if the bones are well-aligned. Surgery is considered when the fracture is displaced or unstable. Dr. Bastian will review your X-rays and advise.
Can hand arthritis be treated without surgery? +
Often yes — with splints, activity changes, injections and therapy. Surgery is reserved for cases that stay painful or limiting.
