Welcome to the Virginia Hand web site - a comprehensive source of information about hand problems including injuries and arthritis. I hope you find all of the content informative and useful in learning about your condition. The purpose of the site is to provide patients with the necessary information to gain a clearer understanding about disease conditions and injuries affecting the hand.
You are not alone: according to the Arthritis Foundation, as many as one in three American adults currently suffer from arthritis. It is one of the most common reasons for visiting the doctor. The incidence of carpal tunnel syndrome is also increasing. Fortunately, breakthroughs in treatment have been made in the past decade. My philosophy is simple: find the treatment that will best eliminate your pain, restore function and motion, and help you to live your life to the fullest. Thanks for visiting.
Best regards,
Dr. Sanjay Desai
