�ٺ���Ƶ

As you recover from a hand sprain or strain, nationally renowned experts at �ٺ���Ƶ’s Rusk Rehabilitation��can help you to modify everyday tasks, so you can resume regular activities and avoid further injury. These rehabilitation experts often provide their expertise and therapy at �ٺ���Ƶ Orthopedic Center.

Pain Relief Medication

Doctors may recommend taking an over-the-counter pain medication, such as ibuprofen or another nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medication, as needed throughout recovery. If this does not relieve discomfort, your doctor may prescribe a stronger pain medication for a short period of time, typically up to two weeks, to help you recover comfortably.

Ergonomics

�ٺ���Ƶ occupational therapists can teach you ergonomic techniques to help prevent injury from overuse of certain tendons, muscles, and ligaments in the hands while at work. Sometimes, making a change as small as adjusting the angle of a computer keyboard or the height of a chair can prevent a sprain or strain.

In addition to providing this therapy at �ٺ���Ƶ, our specialists can visit your workplace to make adjustments and recommendations.
