We built our hand, wrist, and foot care around the idea that people want clear answers and a plan they can actually follow, not a runaround.

What Hand, Wrist & Foot Care Looks Like at a Visit
Hand, wrist, ankle, and foot concerns show up in a lot of different ways, from stiffness after activity to swelling that lingers longer than expected. This service at Mississippi Sports Medicine & Orthopaedic Center is built around evaluating those areas thoroughly and talking through what our providers observe, in terms that make sense to you.
A typical visit generally includes:
- A conversation about your activity level, daily routine, and what you’ve noticed
- A hands-on exam of the hand, wrist, ankle, or foot in question
- Imaging on-site if our provider determines it would be helpful
- A discussion of options, with your questions answered directly by the clinician
This care is appropriate for active adults and athletes of all ages who want a specialist’s perspective on a hand, wrist, ankle, or foot concern, whether it developed suddenly or has been building over time. Specific questions about your situation are best answered in person, so our providers can look, listen, and respond to what’s actually going on with you.
