I injured a muscle or ligament in my hand while climbing. What kind of specialist should I see?

Sports Doctor

A hand surgeon

It's a common injury among climbers. Recently, a friend came to see me with this type of injury. It can have different origins: ligament, muscle, pulley, capsule and sometimes bone.
For this type of injurie, your GP will be able to refer you. If you want a specialist's point of view, a sports doctor might be interesting.
After that, a physiotherapist will help you get back to your sporting level.

You may be have to see a sport medecine docteur or an orthopédist.

Hi,
you should see an orthopedic surgeon

You should see a hand surgeon for an assessment

Hello, the first thing you should do is consult your GP. He will refer you if necessary. Kind regards

You can see a physiotherapist if your medical system allows for direct access. They should be able to do a thorough assessment to identify the structures involved and start you on a program. Although if you have other more serious symptoms like numbness, tingling, loss of function or constant swelling then it is best to visit urgent care for immediate attention.

You can see your general practitioner. You may need an appointment with a physiotherapist to do a load management to help you start climbing again in good conditions.

Hello,
Search "Clinique de la main" on google, or go to see any orthopedist or sport doctors or general practitionner, then go to see a physio specialised in musculo-skeletical troubles (or even specialised in the hand troubles)
Best regards,
Thibault Cramesnil Physiotherapist

You can pass by your general practitioner who can investigate the problem first hand or go directly towards an orthopedic surgeon with the hand as specialization.

Hello, a hand orthopedist

For hand injuries from climbing, consider consulting an orthopedic specialist or a hand surgeon for a thorough evaluation and appropriate treatment recommendations.

You should see first a doctor, then an orthopedist if it the doctor judge that it’s necessary

hand surgeon (don't mean you will opered)
