FOREARM SPECIALISTS

Your forearm is comprised of the ulna and radius bones that come together to join at the wrist. An injury in the bones or the surrounding nerves/muscles can lead to forearm pain and differs depending on the affected area.

The pain can vary from aching and dull, typically seen in osteoarthritis, to shooting and burning, in nerve pain or damage. The pain can affect normal function with your arm or hand, resulting in tingling and numbness.

If you are experiencing Forearm pain, our specialists and physical therapists at New Mexico Orthopaedics can help you address your symptoms and create a treatment plan to minimize pain and potential long-term damage.
