• Hand and wrist surgery: The hand and wrist are composed of 27 bones connected by numerous joints, muscles, tendons and ligaments. The hand and wrist have many parts and are susceptible to many types of injuries. While surgery is a last result, we can help with a variety of conditions from arthritis, broken bones and carpal tunnel syndrome to nerve and tendon injuries.
• Onsite physical and occupational therapy: evaluate and treat all orthopedic conditions, from stable acute injuries to sub-acute and chronic conditions.
