😫👍 If you’re dealing with basal joint arthritis (thumb arthritis), we understand that this condition can be painful, limiting, and even debilitating. Your thumb is essential for nearly every task, and the basal joint is what enables it. This joint provides your thumb with its full range of motion, allowing you to pinch🤏, grasp✋, and hold objects 🤲☕. Over time, the cartilage that cushions this joint can wear down, resulting in pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility.

While there is no cure😢, the FORM Hand, Wrist & Elbow Institute helps patients manage symptoms, preserve function, and improve their quality of life🙂🙌 through nonsurgical treatments and, if necessary, surgery as a last resort. Contact us to book your appointment today. 📞😊
