In today's busy world...

I have spent the past 25 years helping patients by surgery and our therapy program to heal from carpal tunnel, repetitive strain injury as well as from pain from nerve injuries. I have reattached entirely amputated arms, hands and fingers, moved and reconnected nerves in patients with severe pain from nerve injury and helped literally thousands of people return to normal lives after severe injuries to their bodies.

BUT early in my career I found that it was not usually the dramatic operation or the miracle medication that healed them…..

"I discovered that my patients healed optimally in a quieter, more passive and pain-free way than just through surgery-- and in many cases actually avoided surgery. This healing process involved the patient using his or her own belief, much like prayer and the power of positive thinking, but turned inward! Through approaching the pain with a different outlook-- being involved with a sense of control of their own healing, understanding that every human being is born with the same innate power to heal - given us as birthright, they healed. Further, through the help of our therapists they learned self-help techniques, such as massage, life activity modification and how to eat and exercise better; even how to move and sit differently. We custom made splints and supports, to rest their injured nerves, tendons and joints in exactly the right position for them to heal. Through these incremental and combined measures, I saw tremendous healing take place.

The Upper Extremity Institute

was founded on the premise that conservative care works for problems in the upper extremity including orthopaedic, nerve, tendon, vascular or circulatory, neck and wrist and hand problems. It's our belief that each treatment program must be tailored to that individual patient's needs.

About Dr. Scott Fried

Dr Fried, through his practice as a board certified orthopaedic surgeon, fellowship trained hand surgeon and upper extremity surgeon and specialist in treating nerve pain, teaches patients to heal through the use of medical self – hypnosis, medication, nutrition, exercise, lifestyle modification, standard and alternative therapies, and surgery as a last resort. He shows patients how these easier and more permanent treatments fit together in the treatment of orthopedic injuries, and problems like carpal tunnel and repetitive strain injury and RSD, achieving extraordinarily successful and predictable results. Few surgeons in this country are taking such an aggressive approach and stance toward helping patients avoid surgery, and the message is so vital to so many people’s happiness.

Custom Made Splints


Most splints bought in stores are not ideal for stabilizing your injuries and many do not fit well resulting in abrasions or improper or incomplete immobilization. Also for problems like Carpal Tunnel, they extend or bring the wrist up, which can be as damaging to the nerve as flexion positioning associated with the problem. Neutral custom positioning has allowed us to achieve cures in 50% of the patients who come to us with carpal tunnel problems with NO SURGERY. We also make custom semi-flexible splints of our own special design which allow you to do daily activities in comfort, and allow you protection without the side effects of rigid immobilization devices.

Call 610-277-1990 to schedule an evaluation for Carpal Tunnel and/or attaining custom splints for a wrist or arm injury. We offer the option of 1 day fly in evaluations and week long sessions for healing to help avoid surgery and address your personal concerns. Many of our patients come from a distance to explore non surgical options!
