Take a moment and consider everything you use your hands for, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Countless handshakes, waves goodbye, signatures and a lifetime of carrying groceries to and from your car. Not to mention bathing, dressing, eating, driving, working, typing on the computer and playing your favorite game or sport. As you can see, your hands play a vital role in virtually every aspect of your life.

But if your hands become injured, or if you suffer from painful conditions such as arthritis or carpal tunnel syndrome, your whole world changes. Suddenly you have a difficult time completing everyday tasks. That’s when you need highly specialized care that can get you out of pain and back to your active lifestyle.

Here at the Colorado Hand Center, Steven M. Topper, MD, and Bradley D. Jordan, OTR, CHT, work together to offer you complete care for the hand, including comprehensive evaluation, medical and surgical management and postsurgical rehabilitation in the same practice. Because hand surgery and postsurgical rehabilitation each have their own unique strengths in the healing process, there is no approach more efficient than the combination of both.
