As you recover from a hand sprain or strain, nationally renowned experts at ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ Langone’s Rusk RehabilitationÌýcan help you to modify everyday tasks, so you can resume regular activities and avoid further injury. These rehabilitation experts often provide their expertise and therapy at ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ Langone Orthopedic Center.
Doctors may recommend taking an over-the-counter pain medication, such as ibuprofen or another nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medication, as needed throughout recovery. If this does not relieve discomfort, your doctor may prescribe a stronger pain medication for a short period of time, typically up to two weeks, to help you recover comfortably.
ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ Langone occupational therapists can teach you ergonomic techniques to help prevent injury from overuse of certain tendons, muscles, and ligaments in the hands while at work. Sometimes, making a change as small as adjusting the angle of a computer keyboard or the height of a chair can prevent a sprain or strain.
