A New, Non-Surgical Breakthrough for
Hand Arthritis

Hand arthritis can slowly limit how you use your hands each day. Dr. Arnold Saha offers a non-surgical treatment option that combines a specialized vascular procedure with focused hand therapy to address both pain and function.

Why Hand Osteoarthritis Is So Hard to Treat

Traditional daily activities—gripping, writing, opening jars—can become painful and frustrating.

Steroid Injections

Only temporary relief and can weaken tissues over time.

Medications

Merely masking symptoms without addressing the cause.

Surgery

Significant recovery time and focus on a single joint.

The Revolutionary 1–2 Punch

This program is designed to reduce pain first, then rebuild hand strength and movement in a structured way.

STEP 1

Pain-Targeting Vascular Treatment

Focuses on calming inflammation linked to hand arthritis and targets specific blood vessels associated with chronic pain. This helps pain levels often decrease, allowing better participation in therapy.

STEP 2

Expert Hand Rehabilitation

After pain is reduced, therapy focuses on improving strength, coordination, grip, and fine motor control across the entire hand.

Why the 1-2 PUNCH Works

WHEN OTHER TREATMENTS DON’T

CURRENT OPTIONS FALL SHORT:

Temporary relief only

Treat only one joint at a time

Passive care models

Often leads to invasive surgery

The 1–2 Punch Approach

Targets the biological source of pain

Treats the entire hand as a system

Combined Intervention + Rehabilitation

Non-surgical, durable, long-term results

“By combining pain-targeting treatment with expert rehabilitation, we deliver results neither approach can achieve alone.”
