Why Choose Us?
The hand and wrist are made up of a complex system of joints, bones, and soft tissues. There are 14 joints solely in the fingers, and additional joints connecting the wrist, forearm, upper arm, and shoulder. Our upper extremities are often used for a wide array of complex tasks involving immense dexterity and precision, and close attention and focus must be given when treating conditions in this area.
Our hand therapists are specially certified through advanced training and education. We have the expertise to assess, diagnose, and develop advanced treatment plans to help regain mobility, decrease inflammation, and improve function in these areas.
In addition to this, we utilize both a one-on-one approach and the One2FourTM method. Our one-to-one approach has been proven to advance the quality of care and progression through the ability of our trained professionals to administer manual treatment, build strong rapport and improve patient education, and create unique treatment plans designed for the individual and their specific needs.
Our One2FourTM method further distinguishes us from other practices by going above and beyond to provide the best quality of care and resources. We categorize our patients into groups 1, 2, 3, or 4 based on their treatment needs to connect them with the most effective medical professionals and outside resources. Our patients are also able to see their starting point, set their desired outcome, and track their progress.
Common sports injuries that require hand therapy
- Tendonitis: This is a common injury that affects athletes. It is caused by overuse or by strain caused by starting a new activity. It is characterized by inflammation of the tendon which causes swelling and pain.
- Tennis Elbow: This is a form of tendonitis in the elbow. It occurs when the tendon on the outside of the forearm starts to tear from its attachment point to the bone.
- Golfer’s Elbow: This is similar to tennis elbow except it affects the tendon on the inside of the forearm.
- Bowler’s Thumb: Weakness, pain, or numbness of the thumb caused by compression of the ulnar nerve. This is commonly caused by fitting the thumb tightly inside a bowling ball.
- Boxer’s Fracture: This is caused when bones in the hand or fingers break as a result of punching with improper technique.
- Basketball Finger: Contrary to its name, this commonly occurs in many types of athletic activity. This is characterized by a sprain or dislocation from “jamming” the finger into a surface or object. In serious cases, it may result in a fracture.
