Hand Therapy at RIHOC

The RI Hand & Orthopaedic Center offers full evaluation and treatment services for patients with common injuries and disorders of the shoulders arms or hands, or who need surgery for cumulative trauma disorders, fractures, tendon repairs, joint replacements or ligament injuries. After a detailed evaluation is performed an individualized treatment plan is established for each patient from injury or surgery through recovery.
