No — you can contact us directly to book an appointment. If you have been referred by a doctor or surgeon, please bring any referral letter, reports or imaging with you.
What should I bring to my first appointment?
Please bring any relevant medical reports, X-rays or scans, a list of current medication, and details of your medical aid if you have one. Wear comfortable clothing that allows access to the affected arm.
Do you offer virtual / online consultations?
Yes. Hand Consult SA runs a virtual hand clinic, and research supports the efficacy of virtual hand care. At your initial consultation we'll decide together whether online treatment is suitable or whether an in-practice visit is needed.
Do you offer emergency consultations?
Yes. We prioritise swift diagnosis and intervention because delays can compromise functional outcomes, and we stand ready to provide emergency consultations when specialist care is needed urgently.
What is the CMMS technique?
Casting Motion to Mobilise Stiffness (CMMS) is a specialist casting technique that treats the stiff hand in a cost- and time-efficient way, releasing joint tightness so movement can be restored — often without multiple treatment sessions.
Where are you based?
Hand Consult SA is based at the Houghton Medical Suites in Houghton, Johannesburg.
