Skip The GP: Come Straight to Auckland Hand Rehab for Fast, Expert Injury Care
When you’ve injured your hand, wrist or elbow, it can be hard to know where to go. Many people default to visiting their GP or heading to a busy emergency department. But for many upper limb injuries, there’s a better way to begin recovery by coming directly to Auckland Hand Rehab. At Auckland Hand Rehab we can offer you all the services you may need such as x-rays and physio, all part of your tailored treatment plan so we can get you back to doing what you love quicker.
No Referral Needed
You don’t have to wait for a GP referral to see a specialist. Auckland Hand Rehab accepts patients without a referral, so you can be assessed and treated quickly. As an ACC-accredited provider, we can register your injury claim directly, arrange imaging such as X-rays or ultrasounds, and provide a personalised treatment plan.
What You Can Come to Us For
Our urgent care service is for people who have sustained acute or painful injuries to the hand, wrist or elbow and need early assessment and treatment. This includes:
- Fractures or suspected broken bones
- Hand and wrist sprains
- Dislocations or joint injuries
- Ligament or tendon strains
- Crush injuries and jammed fingers
- Post-surgery rehabilitation
- Overuse injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome and tendonitis
We also provide longer-term care for conditions like arthritis or repetitive strain, supporting both adults and children with age-appropriate therapy and splints.
