Hand Surgery
Comprehensive Hand Surgery Care
Crystal Run takes a multi-disciplinary approach to hand surgery. Each patient works with a skilled orthopedic hand surgeon or general hand surgeon, as well as our pain management team, and receives follow-up care with an occupational or physical therapist. Our Physical and Occupational Therapy Department offers a comprehensive hand therapy and work hardening program designed to rehabilitate and restore function to those with conditions affecting the hands and upper extremities.
