Hand, Wrist and Elbow Therapy

When your hands, wrists or elbows hurt or feel numb, it’s debilitating. The simplest activities — signing your name or shaking hands — can be downright painful or even impossible. Our experienced physical and occupational therapists specialize in stretching and strengthening exercises as well as many innovative therapies:

• Custom dynamic splint fabrication.
• Fluidotherapy (dry heat therapy).
• Kinesio Tex taping for nonrestrictive support and stability.
• Iontophoresis (treatment sending weak electrical current to deliver anti-inflammatory medications directly into the skin).
• Gentle massage to relieve swelling.
• Neuromuscular electrical nerve stimulation.
• Ultrasound to relax tissues, improve blood flow and break down scar tissue.
