The Hand Center team, including physicians and therapists, utilizes advanced surgical techniques and therapeutic interventions to maximize restoration of function in individuals with injured and diseased upper extremities.

Patients typically seen in the Hand Center include persons with:

• Upper extremity trauma, such as crush injuries and fractures
• Cumulative trauma, such as rotator cuff tendon injuries, tendonitis and carpal tunnel syndrome
• Natural disease processes, such as rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis
• Congenital anomalies

The Hand Therapy Center, which is located at CompRehab Plaza, is an integral component of the recovery process for these individuals.

Patients referred to the hand therapy program will receive a thorough evaluation and an individualized treatment program will be established. Much of the program, which includes educating patients about their diagnoses, will involve hands-on, one-on-one treatment.

A variety of services are offered in hand therapy including:

• Splinting - customized static and dynamic
• Wound care/scar management 
• Sensory re-education and desensitization 
• Customized Home Programs
