HealthPoint Occupational Therapy

A certified hand therapist has a minimum of five years of experience and specializes in the treatment of hand and upper extremity injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome, tennis elbow, stroke, accident, or trauma.

Our therapists can help you with pain management, nerve desensitization, sensory reeducation, conditioning, home exercise programs, splint fabrication, and the retraining of performance in daily life skills.

Whether you are experiencing increased swelling in your extremities as the result of cancer treatment or another condition, our therapists have the skills necessary to help you control and manage the problem.

Our therapists can help with exercises, massotherapy, and wrapping to bring down the swelling. We can fit you with the right type of compression garments and teach proper skin care, as well as additional precautions that can help you quickly resume your normal activities.

Our therapists are skilled in constructing specialized splints, which are vital to the success of rehabilitation after many injuries and surgical treatments. Splints are used to immobilize the area and correct/prevent deformity to ensure proper healing and function.
