Overview

At Consultants Choice Clinic, we offer a range of minor hand and wrist procedures performed under local anaesthetic—allowing you to receive high-quality surgical care without the need for a hospital stay or general anaesthetic.

Led by experienced hand and orthopaedic surgeons, our service is designed to be efficient, comfortable, and safe. Whether you’re dealing with pain, a lump, or a loss of hand function, our team provides thorough assessment, fast access, and expert treatment in a calm, professional environment.

  • If you experience persistent hand/wrist pain. Numbness, clicking sensations, or reduced mobility may indicate nerve compression or soft tissue damage.

  • If you’ve been diagnosed with a hand condition. Dupuytren’s contracture or ganglion cysts often require surgical correction for full recovery.

Our private hand surgery service in Stockton-on-Tees provides fast access to specialist hand and wrist surgeons who can diagnose and treat a wide range of conditions, from carpal tunnel syndrome and trigger finger to complex fractures and tendon repairs. Many patients come to us after long NHS waits, seeking quicker diagnosis and treatment. We accept both self-pay and insured patients, with appointments typically available within 1–2 weeks.

Symptoms

Common hand conditions and their signs:

  • Carpal tunnel syndrome: Tingling/numbness in thumb/index/middle fingers, especially at night.

  • Trigger finger: Painful clicking or locking when bending/straightening a finger.

  • Ganglion cysts: Soft lumps near joints/tendons, sometimes with localized pain.

  • Dupuytren’s contracture: Thickened palm tissue pulling fingers into a bent position.

Prevention

Reduce risks and maintain hand health:

  • Ergonomic adjustments: Use wrist supports for keyboards/tools and avoid repetitive strain.

  • Hand exercises: Stretch fingers/wrists regularly to improve flexibility and circulation.

  • Protective gear: Wear gloves during high-risk activities (e.g., sports, manual labor).

  • Early intervention: Address minor pains/swelling promptly to avoid progression.
