Conditions We Commonly Treat
Upper-extremity pain has many sources. We commonly treat:
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis)
- Golfer's elbow (medial epicondylitis)
- De Quervain's tenosynovitis
- Trigger finger and trigger thumb
- Arthritis of the hand and wrist
- Post-fracture and post-surgical recovery
- Tendon and ligament sprains
Why These Conditions Develop
Many upper-extremity problems develop from repetitive, small-grasping movements — typing, texting, gardening, assembly work — combined with poor posture or grip mechanics. Others develop after an acute injury or as part of age-related changes. Whatever the cause, early treatment almost always leads to a faster, more complete recovery.
The Carpal Tunnel Connection
Carpal tunnel syndrome — numbness and pain in the hand from a pinched median nerve — is one of the most common conditions we see. Symptoms include numbness in the thumb and first two fingers, weakness gripping objects, and pain that often wakes you at night. Conservative treatment, including physical therapy, is recommended first-line for most cases.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can physical therapy fix carpal tunnel without surgery?
For mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome, conservative treatment including physical therapy is recommended first. Many patients improve significantly and avoid surgery entirely.
How long does tennis elbow take to recover?
Tennis elbow typically responds to therapy within six to twelve weeks, though chronic cases can take longer. The key is the right combination of activity modification, manual therapy, and targeted strengthening.
Should I just rest my hand or keep using it?
Complete rest is rarely the answer — it often leads to stiffness and weakness. We will guide you on what activities to modify, what to avoid temporarily, and what to keep doing to support recovery.
Do you treat post-surgical hand and wrist patients?
Yes. We work with patients recovering from carpal tunnel release, trigger finger release, fracture fixation, and other hand and wrist procedures. Bring your post-operative protocol and we will coordinate from there.
Why does my hand hurt more at night?
Many people sleep with their wrists curled, which can compress the median nerve and worsen carpal tunnel symptoms. Night splints and positioning education are often part of treatment.
Is physical therapy covered for upper-extremity conditions?
Medicare and most major insurance plans cover medically necessary physical therapy for these conditions. We verify your benefits before your first visit.
