Our hands are the primary tools we use to interact with the world on a daily basis. When you have an injury or pain in your hands that limits your function, you quickly realize how important your hands are in everyday life!
At Durham Custom Splinting, we offer a variety of services that help you get back to living your life free of pain and limitation in your hands.
Our services include custom upper extremity splinting, hand therapy services and fine motor assessments for children.
We use low temperature thermoplastic materials to make custom splints for the hand, wrist, fingers etc.
These splints can help with pain relief, improving daytime function and/or provide support to an injured area while it heals. These splints are made just for you by a Registered Occupational Therapist and are fully adjustable if needed.
Our hand therapy services seek to help patients regain hand function after an injury or surgery. Each client will receive an individualized assessment and treatment plan. Our treatment services include but are not limited to hands on treatment, home exercises, custom splinting as needed, strengthening exercises and education on how to recover fully and prevent future injuries.
We also offer fine motor assessments for children experiencing difficulties with tasks like printing, zippers, buttons, etc. Each child is assessed for a combination of hand eye coordination, motor planning, dexterity and strength etc. We then create a personalized treatment plan that parents can integrate into home and school to increase independence, function and skills.
