That depends entirely on what is causing the numbness. To answer that question, you will need to consult your local hand doctor.

Treating hand numbness will depend on the cause. Carpal tunnel syndrome is a common cause of hand numbness and can be treated conservatively with braces or if worse surgery. Other causes of hand numbness can be tested through first visiting your primary care physician to rule out general medical conditions like diabetes and then with a neurologist for a more detailed examination and testing.

That really depends upon what is causing the numbness in your hand. The most common cause of numbness in the hands is carpal tunnel syndrome. You should consult a physician for an examination and a proper diagnosis.
You first have to find out what is causing the numbness. If it's a nerve problem (carpal tunnel), circulatory, or, more uncommonly, at the brain level. Make an appointment with your primary or neurologist for a comprehensive assessment and testing. Once you know what the problem is, then you can direct specific treatment for it.
