OVERVIEW
A lot of people come to us after trying a wrist brace from the drugstore. It was too loose in one spot and too tight in another, or it rubbed a raw patch on the side of their thumb by the end of the day. A custom splint is different. Ours are made by a hand therapist while you sit there. They’re shaped to your arm, not to an average arm, and set at whatever angle your wrist needs while it heals. People come to us for splints for all kinds of reasons. Carpal tunnel is a big one. So are thumb-side tendon pain, arthritis, sprains, broken wrists, and healing after surgery. Most splints are made in a single visit.
BOOKING APPOINTMENTS
Pick up the phone or use the request form online, whichever is easier. If your doctor sent you for a splint, mention that, because it helps us block out the right amount of time. Any paperwork or X-rays from that visit are good to have with you.

We’ll find a day that suits you. After a fresh injury or a surgery, sooner is better, so we’ll do our best to get you in soon.
DIAGNOSE
EXAM & IMAGING
First we need to know what the splint is for. We’ll feel around the sore spots and watch you bend your wrist and fingers, which tells us what angle to set and how far up the arm the splint should go.
TREATMENTS
CUSTOM TREATMENT PROGRAM
The splint starts out as a flat sheet of plastic that we warm in water until it goes soft, then shape around your forearm and hand while you hold still for a few minutes. After it firms up, we smooth the edges, pad any spots that might rub, and add the straps.
FOLLOW UP
WE CALL TO CHECK IN
Swelling goes down and needs change, so we’ll check the fit at your next visits and adjust it if anything presses or slips. When you’re ready, we’ll help you wean off the splint and get your wrist moving again.

It’s been a year post-op from a cervical disc replacement, and I’m moving like nothing ever happened thanks to Mark and his team! The special part about this place is they customize your rehab/therapy approach to fit your hobbies or sports. I’m not only healed and happy, I’m better than I was 10 years ago thanks to the strengthening exercises I was able to continue at home!

What Are You Experiencing?
You don’t need to know the exact name of what’s going on and most people don’t. What matters is how it feels to you. Use the short form to tell us, even if it’s just “my back hurts when I wake up” or “it feels like a sharp pinch.” Once we see it, we’ll give you a call to talk things over and figure out some next steps together.
LOW HIGH
SEVERE PAIN
If the pain is so bad you can’t think straight, please stop here and call 911 or go to the hospital. Getting safe is the first step. When you’re ready afterward, we’ll be here to talk about longer-term help.
MODERATE PAIN / DISCOMFORT
This kind of pain might not knock you down, but it makes life harder than it should be. Maybe it’s a stabbing pain when you move a certain way, or maybe it’s a dull ache that just won’t quit. Write it down as best you can. That’s all we need to get started.
MINOR PAINS & ACHES
Little things add up, too. A stiff neck, sore knees, or that nagging twinge you keep brushing off all matter. Share what you’ve been noticing, and we’ll help you keep it from becoming something bigger.

Answering Your Questions
Why not just buy a brace at the store?
Store braces come in a few sizes and are made to fit a lot of people loosely. For some problems, that’s fine. When the wrist needs to stay in a specific position to heal, a splint shaped to your arm does a much better job.
Does it hurt to have one made?
Not usually. The plastic feels warm when we shape it, kind of like a heated towel. If your wrist is sore, we’ll be gentle and work around the painful spots.
Can I leave it in my car?
Please don’t. The plastic can soften and lose its shape in a hot car, and that happens fast in an Arizona summer. Keep it with you or bring it inside.
Can I shower with my splint on?
It depends on why you’re wearing it. Some people can take it off to shower, and others need to keep it on and cover it with a bag. We’ll tell you which one applies to you.
What if it starts rubbing or feels too tight?
Call us. We can heat and reshape spots that press on your skin, usually in a short visit. Don’t try to cut or bend it yourself.
