Treatment options are determined after an initial evaluation by a physical therapist in conjunction with your physician’s orders. The treatment program may consist of physical modalities (moist heat, ice, ultrasound, electrical stimulation, massage, phonophoresis, iontophoresis, whirlpool, paraffin wax) and/or therapeutic procedures (joint mobilization, passive stretching, activities of daily living, therapeutic exercise, range of motion, fine manipulation, gross grasp and grip strengthening). Splinting may also be required to position the hand/finger in the proper position for healing and to prevent further damage. Ergonomic modifications at your workplace and/or home may be suggested to prevent re-injury.
