Occupational Therapy
Occupational therapy focuses on the hands and the upper extremity.  Our Occupational therapy department has two registered Occupational Therapists (OT), one of whom is a Certified Hand Therapists (C.H.T.) and a Certified Occupational Therapists Assistant (C.O.T.A.).   Our therapists rehabilitate patients with hand, wrist, elbow, and shoulder related injuries and conditions.  We treat acute traumatic injuries such as crushed fingers, fractures, amputations, and lacerations with nerve damage.  Our therapists also see repetitive type conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome, De Querveins, and Tennis Elbow. 

The therapists work closely with the surgeons to restore a patient back to their normal activity.  They are trained to make customized bracing and splinting for patients to help in therapy and restore function.
