Vibration White Finger Diagnosis

A visit to your doctor is the first port of call when trying to establish a vibration white finger diagnosis.
Often you doctor will refer you to a specialist such as a neurologist or a rheumatologist if they suspect vibration white finger.

In order to determine the vibration white finger diagnosis, a history of long term exposure to vibration must be evident. A full medical case history will be compiled including presenting symptoms, their onset and any changes in severity. Also details of vibration exposure are gathered; the types of tools used, the number of years exposed, an estimate of daily hourly exposure and method of use.

A medical/clinical assessment process will be undertaken consisting of an examination and tests. The clinical examination should include the vascular, nervous and musculoskeletal systems. The findings will then indicate a vibration white finger diagnosis with the exclusion of all other similar conditions and the stage to which the disease is at.
