Hand surgery is a field that helps patients with a variety of health issues involving the hands. This can include both surgical and non-surgical care. These doctors treat conditions that present not only in the hands but also the arms. These conditions may include infections, abrasions, injuries, and arthritis. Surgeons trained in orthopedic surgery, general surgery, and even plastic surgery are all qualified to perform surgeries on the hands or provide other treatment for this area.

A Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation Specialist is a healthcare professional who uses mechanical movements, manual movements, and exercise to help treat patients. They use various treatment methods to help their patients deal with pain and even learn to walk or move certain muscles or parts of the body again. They work closely with another medical professional to diagnose and treat patients properly.
