A painful or injured hand, wrist and elbow can involve many of the muscles, tendons, ligaments, nerves, joints and bones in your upper extremity. Your doctor may recommend therapy as part of your treatment plan to regain as much function as possible following injury, surgery or disease.
When you think of the value of your hands and their complexity, you will want specialized hand therapy from a specially trained or certified hand therapist. That service is available locally through the rehabilitation services department at Fairview Lakes Medical Center.
Certified hand therapists have earned this special designation through advanced training beyond certification as an occupational or physical therapist. He or she will work with you and your doctor to develop a rehabilitation program that will take into account your abilities and meet your needs.
