Treating Pain At The Source

Orthopedic Hand Specialist

Hand, wrist, and elbow pain can turn everyday tasks like typing, lifting, or holding your children into a real struggle. Dr. Randy Y. Luo, our board-certified hand and upper extremity surgeon, has treated these conditions since 2017, using minimally invasive techniques whenever possible. Whether it’s tennis elbow or wrist arthritis, he works to help you return to the activities you love with less pain and a smoother recovery.

Wrist Arthroscopy

Wrist Arthroscopy

Open surgery isn’t always needed for wrist joint pain. Wrist arthroscopy uses a tiny camera and small incisions to diagnose and treat problems inside the joint, helping patients heal with less scarring than traditional methods.
Wrist Arthroscopy

Carpal Tunnel Release Surgery

That numbness and tingling usually come down to one thing: pressure on the median nerve at the wrist. Carpal tunnel release surgery relieves that pressure, helping patients regain full hand function.
Wrist Arthroscopy

Hand Therapy

Strength and coordination rarely return on their own after an injury or surgery; that’s where hand therapy comes in. Dr. Luo shapes each program around the patient’s needs for steady recovery.
Wrist Arthroscopy

Tennis Elbow Surgery

Years of strain on the forearm tendons can wear them down, leading to the inflammation and small tears known as tennis elbow. When rest and therapy stop making a difference, surgery becomes a strong option for lasting relief.

Advanced Treatments for Hand & Upper Extremity Conditions

No two patients walk in with the same problem, so Dr. Luo builds each treatment plan around the person in front of him, not a standard protocol.

  • Minimally Invasive Surgery: Smaller incisions can mean less pain and a quicker return to daily life.
  • Arthroscopic Procedures: Using a small camera, Dr. Luo diagnoses and repairs joint problems with precision.
  • Personalized Rehabilitation Plans: Physical therapy here isn’t generic; it’s shaped around what each patient actually needs to recover.
  • Nonsurgical Options: Bracing, injections, and activity changes manage pain before surgery.
