Common Diagnosis

Occupational Therapy:
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome:
Compression of the median nerve within the carpal tunnel of the wrist. The pressure in the tunnel places pressure on the nerve often causing numbness and tingling in the thumb, index, middle and part of the ring fingers.
Cubital Tunnel:
Compression of the ulnar nerve in the elbow region
De Quervains tenosynovitis:
Inflammation of tendons in the thumb in the first dorsal compartment.
Dupuytrens's disease:
Condition resulting in thickening and hardening of the fascia in the palm. Often resulting in flexion contractures of the fingers.
Lateral Epicondylitis/Tennis Elbow:
Inflammatory process associated with pain around the outer (lateral) elbow caused by excessive strain or twisting.
Medial Epicondylitis/Golfer's Elbow:
Inflammatory process associated with pain around the inside (medial) side of the elbow caused by extensive strain or twisting.
Trigger Finger:
Tendonitis involving the flexor tendons , often results in “triggering” or “locking” of the fingers


Physical Therapy:
Adhesive capsulitis/Frozen Shoulder:
Severe loss of motion in the shoulder resulting from inflammation of the capsule. Onset can be a result of trauma, surgery or insidioua.
Osteoarthritis:
Chronic disorder of the joint with excessive erosion of the cartilage.
Rotator Cuff Repair:
A surgical repair of a torn rotator cuff muscle/tendon.
Spinal Stenosis:
Narrowing of the spinal canal most often in the lumbar regions leading to the nerve root compromise. This can lead to Low Back Pain and/or pain/parasthesias in buttocks and legs.
Total Joint Replacements:
Replacement of the hip, knee and/or shoulder joints most common to arthritis or trauma.
Anterior Cruciate Ligament Tear:
Partial to complete failure of one primary knee stabilizers most likely due to trauma; may be treated surgically or conservatively, this dependent of the degree of involvement, age, or anticipated activity levels.
Ankle Sprain:
Partial to complete failure of one of the primary knee stabilizers most likely due to trauma; may be treated surgically or conservatively. Treatment is dependent on the degree of involvement, age, or anticipated activity levels.
