Hand Pain Relief in Georgetown, KY

Get Back to Gripping, Lifting, and Living

Your hands do more than you realize — until they hurt. Hand pain can make everyday activities like opening jars, writing, typing, or buttoning a shirt feel frustrating or even impossible.

For older adults, hand pain often comes from arthritis, overuse, or nerve-related issues. But here’s the truth: losing hand function isn’t just “getting older.” With the right care, you can get strength, control, and comfort back.

At Hyphen, we don’t just look at your symptoms — we focus on how your hand pain is impacting your life. Our Doctors of Physical Therapy create a customized plan to reduce pain, restore function, and improve your ability to do the things that matter most.

Your plan may include:
