It is not uncommon for a patient, usually around fifty years old, to come to our clinic with persistent neck pain that has progressively worsened over the past few years.

They only partially improve after many physiotherapy sessions and multiple medications, inevitably recurring within a few days. Most of them suffer from arthritic neck pain without realizing it.

This problem occurs when the tendons responsible for finger flexion become inflamed, causing pain and difficulty moving the hand.
