Frequently Asked Questions
What are common causes of hand & wrist pain?
Hand and wrist pain can be caused by a range of conditions, including repetitive strain, acute injuries (such as sprains or fractures), arthritis, tendon inflammation, or nerve compression conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome. To find out what’s causing your hand or wrist pain, consult Dr Jacqueline today.
Do I need a referral to see a hand specialist?
If you’re visiting a private clinic, the need for a referral depends on your insurance plan.
-
For corporate insurance, a referral letter is required.
-
For personal insurance, a referral is recommended but not always necessary.
Can I wear a wrist or hand brace without seeing a doctor?
While it might seem harmless, wearing a wrist or hand brace without proper guidance can do more harm than good. Using the wrong type of brace, or wearing it for too long, may worsen your symptoms or cause muscle wasting due to disuse. It’s best to consult a hand specialist who can recommend the right type of support and how long you should wear it for, based on your condition.
