Prestations
Priscilla De Melis, occupational therapist specializing in hand and elbow rehabilitation, will receive you for any treatment and bespoke splint.
Diseases :
- Degenerative joint diseases : arthrosis…
- Nerve compressions : carpal tunnel, ulnar neuropathy, radial nerve syndrome…
- Inflammatory pain : De Quervain’s tendinitis, epicondylalgia, epitrochleitis, trigger finger…
Accidents :
Early rehabilitation is the key to successful treatment in order to avoid complications.
- Hand, wrist, elbow : fracture, sprain, dislocation, nerve damage…
Treatments :
The treatment, after an initial assessment and a careful search for possible etiologies, will be regularly reassessed and adapted. It aims, among other things :
- Recovery of joint amplitudes
- Reintegration of the injured segment
- Treatment of scars and trophic disorders
- Articular and neurodynamic mobilization of the upper limb
- Analgesic treatment
- Physical reconditioning
- Ergonomics: evaluation of the workstation and daily living activities
The essential :
THE BESPOKE SPLINT : it would be adapted to each patient (conservative treatment, surgery, analgesia, improvement of an amplitude). It is made of thermoplastic and is available immediately.
- Emergency splint making for accidents : fracture, sprain, tendon injury…
- Resting splint : arthrosis, carpal tunnel, ulnar neuropathy…
- Dynamic splint for the recovery of joint amplitudes
Considerable advantage :
In the case of chronic pathologies, the focus will be placed on a holistic vision.
- Naturopathic advice : lifestyle, diet, acid-base balance…
The bonus :
Physical and emotional rehabilitation is strongly recommended to increase the chances of treatment. Following and accident or a chronic pathology, the emotion can create the problem or the problem can register the emotion, often negative, related. For this, it is possible to act with Bach flowers.
