Occupational Therapy

Occupational therapy programs improve fine motor coordination skills, especially of the hand and arm.  We help people of all ages develop and maintain their ability to perform task and roles essential to productive living, including self-care, leisure and work.

Hand Therapy
We specialize in the treatment of patients who have been affected by an accident or trauma leaving them with wounds, scars, burns, injured tendons or nerves, fractures, or even amputations of the fingers, hands or arms. Others include patients who suffer from the effects of conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome and tennis elbow, as well as such chronic problems as arthritis or a neurological condition (i.e., stroke).

What does hand therapy provide?

• Preventative, Non-operative or conservative treatment
• Management of acute or chronic pain

• Sensory re-education after nerve injury

• Conditioning prior to returning to work
