Patient Recommendation

Ramsey clinic, St. Paul, now called Regions Hospital. He was good, supportive
very occupational medicine focus.
However, I got my diagnosis, (pronator teres syndrome) from
Dr. Richard Hills,Physical Therapist and Doctor of Chiropractic, Director, Rehabilitation Clinic Northwester College of Chiropractic 2501 West Eighty-Fourth Street Bloomington, MN 55431-1599 Phone 612-885-5404
Very unusual combination - I think he's Very Good.

There is a Rolfer who is extremely knowledgeable about RSI in Minneapolis.
Her name is Siana Goodwin and she can be reached at 612-722-0049. Siana is
also an instructor for the Rolf Institute and has been in practice for many
years. She has used her RSI techniques to save companies many millions of
dollars in Worker's Comp insurance premiums by eliminating RSI's from the
workplace. I highly recommend her.

Patient Recommendation
I am in St. Paul. I highly recommend Orthopaedic Sports Inc or OSI. They have
offices in Lake Elmo/Woodbury, White Bear, Maplewood, Forest Lake and
Stillwater. I have seen Maureen Scanlon who is a hand/arm therapist. She is
wonderful.
Patient Recommendation
My hand surgeon is Dr. Matthew Putnam..University of Minnesota..He is the
director of hand surgery at the U. I have been treating with Dr. Putnam since
Jan. 2001..So far so good..He really takes the conservative approach first..The
hand and therapy center there is also wonderful He works at the orthopaedics
and therapy center and there phone is 612-273-9400...
Patient Recommendation
I highly recommend OSI which is a PT center in the twin cities. I see Steve (back) in West St Paul and Maureen in Maplewood/Stillwater and White Bear Lake. OSI= Orthopedic Sports Inc.
Patient Recommendation
I didn't get the original message for this, but I'm in Roseville. My
therapist is Sue Wagner at Metropolitan Hand Therapy and Rehabilitation.
They are in downtown St. Paul: 651-223-5406. I believe she is a PT/CHT.
I've been very pleased with her. She spent a long time diagnosing my
problems and was able to recreate all the painful spots I was having. We've
done a number of things that have improved my condition (although it's not
gone yet). There's also a bunch of other therapists at that clinic who
would probably be good too.
In the Minneapolis/St. Paul area, I was quite happy with my PT/CHT
(certified hand therapist) Sue Wagner at:
Metropolitan Hand Therapy and Rehabilitation Ritchie Medical Plaza 310 North Smith Ave Suite 130 St. Paul, MN 55102 651-223-5406

I do not have any knowledge of local Rolfers. I am not sure what your
insurance or budget allows, but there are several places to go for massage.
I have a friend named Karen Kullman. The last I heard she was with Body
Balance Healing Center: 651-222-2218. (400 Selby in St. Paul, right off of 94
and Kellogg/Dale) I know her personally and she is great.
There is also a WONDERFUL massage school that specializes in ALL kinds of
massage. It is Sister Rosalind School of Massage. Since they have supervised
students, the cost is lower. 651-228-0960 (St. Paul). They also have
locations in Highland Park, Burnsville and Maplewood.
The 3rd alternative I could find is The Minneapolis School of Massage and
Body Work. (220 Lowery Ave NE in Mpls.) 612-788-1320
I am willing to bet both schools will have some ideas about Rolfers and may
even have a few themselves. (Also, you could try it at the schools for less
and if you do not like it, you're not out too much money.)

Patient Recommendation
My Chiro's name is Dr. Tim Whelan in White Bear Lake, MN. He has been
practicing for only about 4 years or less. I think that is a good thing, in
my case, because his recent schooling included dealing with RSI versus just
the standard car accidents and hereditary problems. He charges $240 for 12
sessions, cash. Otherwise the fee is higher because he has to type up all the
insurance co reports, etc, plus the delay in payment. He truly has the goal
of eliminating pain in people with RSI. I highly recommend him.
Patient Recommendation
I have Thoracic Outlet Syndrome, wrist and elbow tendinitis, ulnar nerve damage and Myofascial Pain Syndrome. I HIGHLY recommend my Sports Medicine Gp in White Bear Lake, MN. His name is Dr. David Thorson. I do not know if he is taking on new patients right now, though. It cannot hurt to call. 651-426-6402 (option #3). He is with MinnHealth. I have seen 2 decent ortho guys. One is Dr. Jeff Husband. He is affiliated with Park Nicollet Clinics. He is very blunt and fair. The other is an IME doc, HOWEVER, he is very good at surgery and is fair. His name is Dr. Mark Falconer. I do not know what clinic he is affiliated with. You could call EvaluMed (in Edina) and ask. Your best bet is to find a Sports Medicine GP. They tend to know more about RSI's and dont cost the insurer as much as a specialist. If you need the name of an AWESOME physical therapy clinic in the Cities, I recommend OSI or Orthopaedic Sports, Inc. They have offices in Woodbury, White Bear, Stillwater and Forest Lake. Worth the drive. (I recommend Maureen and Steve P.)
