Hand or Wrist Pain Relief
Hand/Wrist Pain
Hand therapy is the method of evaluating and treating injuries related to the upper extremity of the body including the hand, wrist, forearm, elbow, shoulder, or entire arm. Our certified hand therapists use specific techniques to help return a patient to doing things they love.
