Dr. Theresa Wyrick Explains Dupuytren’s Disease: Symptoms & Non-Surgical Treatment | UAMS Health

Dupuytren’s disease is a common, benign condition that can cause the fingers to curl down over time, making it hard to straighten your hand or perform everyday activities. In this video, Dr. Theresa Wyrick, orthopaedic hand and upper extremity specialist at UAMS Health, explains what causes Dupuytren’s disease, how it progresses, and when treatment is needed. She also describes a non-surgical, office-based injection therapy that helps break down the tissue causing finger contracture — without the need for anesthesia or a long recovery. Learn how this innovative treatment works, what to expect, and why early evaluation is key to maintaining hand function.
