Hand & Upper Extremity Therapy

Hand and Upper Extremity Therapy is the specialty area concerned with treating orthopedic-based upper extremity injuries and conditions. Treatment includes such issues as fractures and trauma, overuse syndromes such as tendonitis and carpal tunnel syndrome, as well as post surgical therapy. Hand Therapy is performed by a Certified Occupational Therapist.

Radiology

The Radiology Department performs basic orthopedic x-ray procedures.  All x-rays are done "in house" to provide care and facilitate patient convenience.  The clinic utilizes a full Direct Digital X-ray system with wireless transmission of images to iPad displays for patient review and education.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Magnetic Resonance Imaging, or MRI, allows the visualization of internal body structures.  MRI scans are indispensable for evaluating ligament, cartilage, and soft tissue injuries.  The MRI is an "open" machine, and one of the few in the country that is located in a clinical office. In most cases,  MRI scanning can be performed during the office visit for acute injuries. Digital processing makes the images instantly available for review, providing immediate diagnostic information.

Surgery

Out-patient surgical services are available at West Houston Surgicare, located on the premises. Arthroscopic surgery, including ligament reconstruction, is performed routinely at The Center. The surgical facility is fully staffed at all times with board certified anesthesiologists, licensed registered nurses, and certified surgical technicians.
