Common Conditions Treated Through Hand Therapy
Your wrists and hands are intricate and highly functional parts of your body, making them vulnerable to various conditions and injuries. Here are some common conditions you might be experiencing:
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and Cubital Tunnel Syndrome
If you’re feeling numbness, tingling, or weakness in your hand or arm, you might have Carpal or Cubital Tunnel Syndrome. Through targeted exercises and positioning strategies, hand therapy can significantly reduce your symptoms and restore function.
Arthritis
Arthritis can severely impact your daily activities, causing stiffness, swelling, and pain. A personalized therapy program can improve flexibility, strengthen muscles around the affected joints, and help you manage daily tasks with less discomfort.
Tennis and Golfer’s Elbow
These conditions cause pain on the inside or outside of your elbow, often due to repetitive motions in sports or everyday activities. Through hand therapy, you’ll learn strategies to reduce inflammation, manage pain, and prevent recurrence.
