Do You have Parkinson's Disease?
Synaptic Rehab offers specialized hand therapy services, designed to treat conditions affecting the hands and upper extremities. Our certified hand therapists work closely with patients in their homes across New Jersey to manage and alleviate symptoms associated with arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and carpal tunnel syndrome.
Arthritis is a common condition that causes pain, swelling, and reduced motion in the joints. In the hands, it can severely impact daily activities and quality of life.
Our therapy focuses on reducing pain and inflammation, improving joint function, and increasing range of motion through targeted exercises, manual therapy, and the use of therapeutic modalities. We also provide custom splinting and educate on joint protection techniques to prevent further deterioration.
Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease that causes chronic inflammation of the joints. It can lead to significant discomfort and deformity in the hands.
Treatment plans for rheumatoid arthritis include exercises to maintain flexibility and strength, techniques to manage pain and swelling, and strategies to preserve joint integrity and function. We emphasize education on ergonomic and adaptive tools to enhance daily function without stressing the joints.
This condition is caused by pressure on the median nerve in the wrist and manifests as pain, numbness, and tingling in the hand and arm.
Our therapists utilize manual therapy techniques to reduce pressure on the median nerve, along with strengthening and stretching exercises to improve wrist and hand function. We also advise on ergonomic adjustments to reduce strain during repetitive tasks.

Beyond arthritis and carpal tunnel syndrome, hand therapy is effective for a variety of conditions including fractures, tendon injuries, and post-surgical rehabilitation.
The duration of therapy varies depending on the severity of the condition and the individual’s progress, but typically ranges from a few weeks to several months.
While some discomfort may be experienced, especially when starting therapy, our therapists are skilled in techniques that minimize pain and ensure comfort throughout the treatment process.
In many cases, hand therapy can effectively treat symptoms and improve function to the point that surgery may not be necessary. However, each case is individual, and we work closely with your healthcare provider to determine the best treatment approach.
