Dr Gregoire Chick is now consulting from Physio for All in Chelsea. He is a specialised hand surgeon and carries out hand surgery including reconstructive, peripheral nerve and micro-surgery.

Our hands serve many purposes. Hands help us eat, dress, write, earn a living, create art, and do many other activities. To do these activities, our hands require sensation and movement, such as joint motion, tendon gliding, and muscle contraction. When a problem takes place in the hand, care must be given to all the different types of tissues that make function of the hand possible.

Hand surgery is the field of medicine that deals with problems of the hand, wrist, and forearm.

When a problem takes place in the hand, care must be given to all the different types of tissues that make function of the hand possible.

Not every visit to a hand surgeon results in hand surgery.

We often recommend non-surgical treatment options to assist patient. Sometimes, we may refer patient to a hand therapist for more treatment.

If you have pain in your fingers, hand, wrist or arm, or have other upper-extremity related concerns, you may want to consult.
