Patient Reviews
Feb 24, 2024
Dr. Swensen is the doctor to see if you have Dupuytren’s Contracture in Alaska. He uses a procedure called needle aponeurotomy, which is done in the office. I was back in in the gym in less than a week, and the only thing I felt during the procedure was the initial needle pricks to numb the area he was working on. I went back for a 2-week checkup, and that was it. My hand lies flat on the table, and I already can feel more strength returning to my hand. If you have been putting off treatment because you don’t want major surgery or don’t like the idea of injecting stuff into your hand to dissolve the problem, see Dr Swensen. I wish I had done this years ago. Don’t wait.
