If your fingers hyperextend, subluxate, or ache through a normal day — opening a jar, holding a pen, typing, cooking — the joints may be asking for support rather than rest.
SilverRing™ splints are custom-fit sterling silver and gold orthoses that have been made for more than forty years. They are medically effective and, unlike bulky bracing, they block the problem motion while leaving the joint's functional range intact. The Swan Neck splint blocks PIP or DIP hyperextension without limiting the joint's full range of motion; the EDS splint corrects hyperextension at the MP joints without blocking flexion. They look like jewelry, which matters more than it should — people actually wear them.
Chris Weber leads these consultations, and he has EDS. He wears these splints himself, when his hands need them, for the same joints you are bringing to us. He is also trained through Silver Ring Splint Company's clinical course on hypermobility in the hand. That combination — formal training and living in the same body — is why this consultation tends to feel different from a fitting appointment.
We are one of the few practices in the New Orleans region offering this service.
