Dr. Shumway treats all disorders of, and injuries to, the bones and soft tissues between from the fingertips to the elbow. He believes that the hand and arm are the most vital structures that we have for interacting with our environment. Dr. Shumway states, “Unfortunately, many disorders and injuries are often ignored or self-treated. Untreated, these problems may lead to the development of chronic pain, weakness or loss of use of the hand.” Dr. Shumway’s goal is to provide his patients with a thorough upper extremity exam, an accurate diagnosis and a program of care that will allow for a timely recovery and maximum use of their uninjured hand or arm.
