Hand & Wrist Pain

OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY

Hands and wrists experience normal wear and tear over time. With how frequently we use these muscles and tendons, overuse can happen more rapidly than other parts of the body. Your hands also serve as a protective mechanism for your body, for example, breaking a fall. Due to this protective instinct, fractures of the hand and wrist are common. We can help you recover from injury and relieve pain!

Not all locations provide hand therapy. Please call your preferred clinic to confirm this service is provided. You can view a complete list of locations here.

What is Hand Therapy?

During therapy, a Certified Hand Therapist (CHT) or a skilled physical or occupational therapist with significant experience in treating upper extremity injuries, will customize a plan based on your need. In some cases, therapists will recommend modalities, splinting, and manual techniques. They address the entire kinetic chain to identify the root cause of your pain which can sometimes be caused by an issue in the elbow or even shoulder. Common hand and upper extremity conditions we treat include...

  • Amputations
  • Bursitis
  • Carpal tunnel syndrome
  • Repetitive stress injuries
  • Golfer’s Elbow
  • Tendon injuries
  • Hand and Wrist Fractures
  • Arthritis
  • Peripheral nerve disease and injuries
  • Rotator cuff strains, tears, and repair
  • Soft tissue injuries
  • Tendonitis
  • Tennis Elbow (lateral epicondylitis)
  • Shoulder impingement
