Treatments

Sanjay Miranda will provide both non-surgical treatment and surgical treatment for virtually any hand condition. One is not necessarily better than the other. The best treatment is the one that is most appropriate for your hand & upper limb condition given your circumstances and your needs.  

At your Consultation,  Mr Miranda will discuss with you the risks, benefits, disadvantages and treatment options in detail. Together you will decide the best treatment. 

Non-surgical treatment 

Non-surgical treatment includes splints, supports, exercises, activity modification, medications, injections, rehabilitation techniques. Many of these non-surgical treatments are supervised by the Hand Therapists working with Mr Miranda. 

Also, not forgetting, that in some cases simply information & advice about the condition is all that is required and no specific treatment is necessary.
