Hand And Wrist Injuries

Our Osteopaths are highly trained in treating patients with hand and wrist injuries. During treatment, we focus on treating the root cause of your pain. Therefore, we will rarely only concentrate on your hand and wrist; we will examine your entire spine, including the neck, upper back, and shoulder, where we may often find additional structures contributing to your injury. Along with osteopathic treatment, we also address other predisposing factors, such as posture, poor ergonomic set-ups at the desk, and muscle imbalances.
