Guest guest Posted October 14, 2005 Report Share Posted October 14, 2005 Hello Listserve, I’m looking for a hand specialist in the Portland area. Patient has mod-severe pain located at base of 1st metacarpal and between the head of the 2nd & 3rd metacarpal which is present upon awakening, with clenching fist and with palpatory pressure. Pt. also has moderate loss of grip strength with thenar muscle atrophy. DTR & sensation are WNL. X-rays (3v Left Hand) are negative for bone pathology, infection, or degenerative changes. Patient has not responded to manipulation, Ultrasound/EMS, Interferential, Massage, or Thermal therapy. Past history of significant trauma to hand and wrist with ganglion cyst surgery 6 years ago. Anybody have someone that they would recommend? Thanks! J. Vissers, DC Vissers Chiropractic www.visserschiro.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
