A Debilitating Condition

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.

  • 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.
