Our Story
Hand Care began in 1984 as an Indiana Hand Center tradition with a simple mission: share clinical knowledge to advance the practice of hand therapy and improve patient care. Over four decades, we’ve grown alongside the field itself.
As our practice expanded to provide comprehensive treatment of the hand, wrist, elbow, and shoulder, we evolved into Indiana Hand to Shoulder Center. Hand Care has evolved with us, continuing to deliver cutting-edge education for the full spectrum of upper extremity care. We’re proud to continue this tradition and invite you to be part of the Hand Care legacy.
