Arthritis Management
Living with arthritis can be challenging, but our licensed therapists offer specialized treatments to manage symptoms, improve joint mobility, and maintain functional independence. Our approach is designed to minimize pain and improve function.
Nerve Injury and Compression
Dealing with nerve injuries or compression can significantly impact hand function. Our expert therapists provide targeted treatments to alleviate symptoms like pain, numbness, and tingling while improving nerve function and restoring comfort and dexterity.
Post-Surgical Rehabilitation
Following hand and upper extremity surgeries, our licensed therapists offer expert post-surgical rehabilitation to help you recover fully. We focus on restoring mobility, strength, and function, guiding you through the recovery process step by step.
Custom Orthoses
Our therapists have advanced training and education in the designing and fitting of custom orthoses (splints) to support your hands and wrists. These custom-made devices help relieve pain, promote healing, and improve function, whether for injury recovery or managing chronic conditions. Many insurance plans often cover the cost of custom orthoses, making it an accessible option for those in need of personalized support and care. Our team can assist you in determining your coverage and working with your insurance provider to ensure you receive the benefits you’re entitled to.
Wound Care / Trauma Treatment
We provide advanced wound care and trauma treatment using active wound dressings, rather than traditional dressings. Active wound dressings, also known as bioactive or interactive dressings, are designed to actively promote healing by interacting with the wound bed. These dressings create an optimal environment for tissue regeneration, enhancing the body’s natural healing process. Unlike traditional dressings, which primarily act as barriers, active dressings release bioactive factors or utilize materials with endogenous activity to support faster, more efficient healing. Whether you’re recovering from an injury, surgery, or trauma, our expert therapists provide tailored care to promote optimal healing and reduce complications, ensuring the best possible outcomes for your recovery.
Scar Management
Scars from injury or surgery can affect both the appearance and comfort of your upper extremity. To support your healing, we offer custom-made scar pads made from medical-grade silicone. These pads are designed to be applied directly to scars, improving their appearance, and reducing scar formation and discomfort. Our goal is to help minimize scarring and enhance mobility throughout the recovery process. We provide these custom scar pads at no additional cost to our patients, ensuring you receive the highest level of care and support for your upper extremity recovery.
Strengthening and Conditioning
We offer targeted strengthening and conditioning programs to build the strength and endurance needed for optimal upper extremity function. Our licensed medical professionals personalize each program to support your unique recovery goals.
Tendon and Ligament Disorders
Injuries to tendons and ligaments can greatly affect hand function. We offer rehabilitation strategies to restore flexibility, strength, and stability, ensuring you can return to daily tasks and activities with ease.
Ergonomic Assessments
We conduct thorough ergonomic assessments to identify any environmental or activity-related factors contributing to discomfort or injury. Our therapist is certified in ergonomic assessment (and will educate you on proper posture, workstation setup, and movement patterns to reduce strain and promote healthy habits.
