Non-Surgical Treatments

Start With the Least-Invasive Options

Most patients improve without surgery. Our team takes a conservative-first approach with treatments designed to reduce pain, improve strength, and prevent future flare-ups.

Non-Surgical Hand & Wrist Treatments

  • Static Resting Splints Immobilization splints that hold joints in optimal position to reduce pain and prevent deformity. These devices are particularly effective for inflammatory conditions, post-surgical protection, and acute injuries requiring rest.
    • Wrist cock-up splints for carpal tunnel syndrome
    • Resting hand splints for arthritis management
  • Dynamic Functional Orthoses Mobilization devices that allow controlled movement while providing support and protection. These orthoses help restore function while preventing re-injury during healing and rehabilitation.
    • Tenodesis splints for improved grip strength
    • Dynamic extension assists for finger contractures
  • Serial Static Progressive Splints Adjustable devices designed to gradually increase range of motion by applying gentle, prolonged stretch to tight tissues. These splints are progressively adjusted as flexibility improves over time.
    • Serial casting for elbow contracture correction
    • Progressive wrist extension splints
  • Protective and Supportive Bracing Lightweight, durable orthoses that provide joint stability and protection during activity. These devices allow functional movement while preventing harmful motions that could cause re-injury.
    • Thumb spica splints for arthritis support
    • Neoprene sleeves with custom modifications
  • Activity-Specific Adaptive Devices Specialized orthoses designed to improve performance of specific daily activities such as eating, writing, or work tasks. These devices compensate for weakness or limited mobility to maintain independence.
    • Custom feeding splints with utensil attachments
    • Writing aids and grip enhancement devices
Star
Studies show that patients using custom orthoses experience 40% greater improvement in function compared to off-the-shelf alternatives, with 85% reporting better comfort and compliance.

Custom Orthoses & Splints

Watch how our occupational therapists create custom orthoses using advanced fabrication techniques

Surgical Hand & Wrist Procedures

  • Post-Surgical Immobilization Orthoses Custom devices fabricated immediately after hand, wrist, or elbow surgery to protect healing tissues and maintain optimal positioning. These orthoses are designed to accommodate post-operative swelling while providing secure immobilization.
  • Tendon Repair Protection Splints Specialized orthoses that protect repaired tendons while allowing controlled early mobilization. These devices prevent rupture of surgical repairs while promoting healing through graduated movement protocols.
  • Fracture Stabilization Orthoses Custom-molded devices that provide external support for healing fractures, particularly in cases where traditional casting is not suitable. These orthoses can be removed for hygiene and wound care while maintaining proper alignment.
  • Joint Reconstruction Support Systems Complex orthoses designed for patients recovering from joint replacement or reconstruction surgeries. These devices provide precise positioning and graduated support as patients progress through rehabilitation phases.
Star
Research indicates that patients using custom post-operative orthoses show 30% faster return to function and 25% lower complication rates compared to standard immobilization methods.

What Patients Say

RW
Excellent care and concern from the time I was called into the room. He thoroughly explained my injury and what my options were. My best option was surgery which he performed 5 days later. He greeted me at the surgery center and explained the procedure that was going to take place. Surgery went well. Im on my way to a full recovery and very thankful to have crossed paths with Dr. Bohm and to have him for my care during this time. Also, the entire staff from my initial checkin to scheduling to follow-up care were all courteous, professional, and on point. Such a well organized team.

I had surgery 3 months ago on my wrist. My scar is almost non-existent and my therapy is going well thanks to Dr. Bohm.

I was treated for my broken wrist in a very timely manner. I was able to see Dr. Bohm the same day I injured it. I was able to have surgery within three days of seeing Dr. Bohm. The front desk, staff, nurses treated me very well. I am on my way to almost full use of my arm. I am having physical therapy here too, which is really helping me regain strength in my arm.
