Arthritis
Two Shoulder Replacement Procedures that we commonly treat in the clinic are: the Total Shoulder Arthroplasty (TSA) and the Reverse Total Shoulder Arthroplasty (rTSA). The primary reason for either surgery is PAIN. The common etiologies for severe shoulder pain are Osteoarthritis, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Severe Rotator Cuff Pathology, Osteonecrosis ( When blood supply to the bone is limited and the bone cells die) and Fracture of the Humeral Head. When conservative therapeutic rehabilitation measures are exhausted, shoulder replacement surgery is considered. The TSA and the rTSA are surgical procedures that can improve the quality of life for those who have severe pain with activities of daily living and sleeping. Surgical outcomes for these procedures are moderate to complete relief with restored functional range of motion. The goal of these surgeries is to replace the shoulder joint or glenohumeral joint with a prosthesis, to create a stable fulcrum of rotation.

Plantar Fasciitis
Cryotherapy
Lateral Epicondylitis (Tennis Elbow) is a non-neurological overuse injury causing pain at the lateral epicondyle. Other signs and symptoms may be an increase in pain with extended elbow grip (especially while pronated), pain with resisted wrist extension and pronation, and a possible decrease in wrist flexion. Tennis Elbow is usually caused by activities that involve excessive grasping with an outstretched arm, reverse “wrist curls” and one handed backhand in tennis. Treatment usually begins with pain and inflammation reducing modalities such as: ultrasound, light therapy, iontophoresis, and cryotherapy. Lengthening of the extensor carpi radialis (ECR) and extensor tendons by stretching and myofascial release to the muscles are effective ways of reducing the tension on the tendon and epicondyle, helping to reduce the cause of the problem. Isometric and eccentric strengthening of the ECR and extensor muscles is also a good way of lengthening the muscles while increasing

Ultrasound
HHFT offers a wide range of rehabilitation techniques for the upper body. We have an extensive and comprehensive evaluation and treatment program for the neck, shoulder, elbow, wrist, and hand to increase range of motion, strength, and functionality. Modalities such as ultrasound, Anodyne, and electrical stimulation are used to help reduce pain and increase blood flow. Exercise program helps restore pre-surgical and function. We do customize splinting and bracing to immobilize and protect any upper extremity. We employee a Certified Hand Therapist who specializes in upper extremity treatment.

Chemotherapy
Cause: First,we must take notice to the fact that there are multiple causes for Peripheral Neuropathy. Not just a diabetic problem, many people with circulatory, chemotherapy, alcohol, or central nervous system problems also suffer from this disorder. Peripheral Neuropathy presents with the following symptoms: burning, electrical sharp/shooting pains, tingling and numbness that gradually progresses proximally from the toes or fingers to involve the feet and/or hands. Another common experience is that the severity of the symptoms increases at night often disrupting sleep patterns. Put simply, Peripheral Neuropathy is nerve damage caused for one reason or another by insufficient blood flow to the nerves in the feet, legs, and hands.
Iontophoresis
Cubital Tunnel Syndrome is an ulnar nerve entrapment injury at the “Funny Bone” that can occur from sleeping with the elbow flexed, leaning on elbows or medial forearm, and/or from repetitive elbow motion such as supination/pronation. Cubital Tunnel Syndrome can present symptoms of vague aching at the medial elbow, decreased sensation of ulnar 4th & 5th digits and/ or possible ulnar hand distribution only. A late sign may also be weak intrinsic muscles of the hand. Passive overpressure to full elbow flexion with manual compression on the nerve should elicit symptoms as well as having a positive Tinel’s at the medial elbow. Treatment of cubital tunnel syndrome begins by resolving compression at the medial elbow (i.e. resting on elbow, sleeping with flexed elbow, or repetitive elbow flexion) by modifying the aggravating activity and/or wearing a night sleeping splint. Anodyne infrared light therapy over the ulnar nerve helps to improve the conductivity of the nerve and is greatly effective when used in conjunction with inflammation reducing modalities (such as iontophoresis) over the cubital tunnel. Nerve glides also help to reduce neural tension.

Lesions
OSTEOARTHRITIS OF THE TRAPEZIAL JOINT Trapeziometacarpal (TM) joint with osteoarthritis (OA) has a specific classification based on radiographic findings. These findings are as follows: Stage I: painful synovitis (inflammation of the synovial membrane) with effusion and hypermobility. Stage II: radiographs show classical OA changes of joint space narrowing, osteophytes or joint debris less than 2 mm in diameter. Often there is less mobility and only minimal crepitus. Stage III: advanced OA with marked crepitus but without scaphotrapezial (ST) joint disease. Stage IV: advanced OA of the TM joint with radiographic OA changes in the ST joint. OA most commonly affects the two distal joints of the fingers and thumb CMC joints. The thumb CMC joints tend to be the most symptomatic. However, osteophytes can occur at the MP joint where they can cause triggering of the flexor tendons. Osteophytes can also be found at the wrist and intercarpal joints which can limit motion and cause pain. Men and women have the same distribution of osteoarthritis, however women have more severe symptoms. One contributing factor to a painful thumb joint is generalized ligamentous laxity with consequential joint hypermobility. Recent studies document hypermobility, especially in the thumb CMC joint, which may result in a variety of overuse lesions and osteoarthritis. In the patient with moderate symptoms of osteoarthritis, asking them to point where they are having pain will often reveal them pointing to the base of the thumb. In addition, upon visual inspection of the CMC joint, a squaring (or a shoulder) can be observed at the base of the thumb. If this is noted, a further physical examination is usually not indicated secondary to prolonged pain and swelling. If no visual anomaly is noted, a grind test of the CMC joint can be performed. This test is done by palpation over the CMC joint while compressing and rotating the 1st metacarpal in the CMC joint. Distraction of the joint at the end of the grind test is also performed to demonstrate capsular tenderness. In addition, a Finkelstein’s test is also indicated for localizing the pain in the first dorsal tendon compartment and for identifying de Quervain’s tenosynovitis. The first line of treatment, once a diagnosis of trapeziometacarpal OA is confirmed, is the utilization of a custom fabricated thumb spica splint. Depending of the severity of symptoms, the splint may consist of a thumb MCP/CMC stabilization or a CMC stabilization only. However, it is important to be aware that the MCP joint is subject to greater forces when not splinted, secondary to the restriction at the CMC joint. Consequently, non stabilization of the MCP joint requires a healthy MCP joint. Many thumbs that exhibit CMC OA also have MCP issues such as hyperextension. Effective splinting for CMC arthritis may reduce the need for surgery. However, for active adults who wear a stabilization splint, nonadherence to splint usage is evident. This is seconda

Bunions Problems
From Humboldt Hand and Foot Therapy, INC Treatment News November 2009 Orthotics Foot pain can impact your life and activity in a hurry. If your feet aren’t doing their job, it’s hard for you to do yours. It can also be difficult to get rid of foot pain if you are unable to get off your feet and rest. Other issues like high pressure, specific activity, diabetes and structural or biomechanical problems can make becoming pain-free even more difficult. Pain often signals an underlying problem. Common problems such as various types of tendonitis, neuromas, plantar fasciitis, heel pain, calluses, pressure wounds, bunions, flat feet, shin splints, hip/low back pain and many other issues can be resolved or improved with an orthotic. An orthotic improves improper foot motion, relieves pressure and can often be very helpful in resolving pain. An orthotic can be either functional, in that it solves a mechanical problem such as excessive pronation, or accommodative to reduce pressures, shock and shear force.
Calluses
Flat Feet
The last anatomical structure possibly involved with Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome is the foot. If a patient has a pes planus foot posture (flat foot), this would also cause increased genu valgum at the knee, again equating to an increase in lateral tracking of the Patella.

Foot Orthotics
Custom foot orthotics are fabricated for Humboldt Hand and Foot Therapy by Foot Therapy Orthotics. The orthotic lab is a full service lab with state of the art equipment. The foot can be casted or scanned and orthotics provided within two days (scanning captures a highly accurate 3-D image of the foot with +/-.5mm margin of error). Modifications or adjustments are speedy as well, often a two day turnaround. Custom foot orthotics or inserts can relieve pain by controlling how your foot moves. An orthotic reduces the speed of pronation or flattening of the foot. It also limits the swing of your heel so that your heel strikes the ground in the correct position. During midstance, the orthoses lift your arch so that the ankle and heel can obtain better alignment.

Podiatric Deformities
Orthotic Basics Accommodative: These orthotics accommodate foot deformities, sore spots and relieve pressure. They are made from softer materials such as EVA, foam, cork and leather that cushions your foot but offers little control. Functional: Made from more sturdy materials that tend to be harder such as graphite or plastics, this type of orthotic’s job is to control unwanted foot motions. The more flexible materials will also absorb shock to reduce strain. Even hard orthotics can be topped with soft material to provide some cushion and comfort.
