MICHAEL FITZMAURICE, MD<br />
Founder of the Fitzmaurice Hand Institute<br />
Double Board Certified Hand Surgeon<br />
When you've suffered a hand or wrist<br />
injury or need immediate care for<br />
persistent joint or nerve pain in your<br />
hands, wrists, or forearms, Hand & Wrist<br />
Urgent Care in <strong>Scottsdale</strong> is a quick and<br />
cost-efficient alternative to the<br />
emergency room.<br />
We provide fast diagnosis and<br />
specialized treatment for injuries to the<br />
fingers, hands, and wrists by one of the<br />
top hand surgeons in the country – Dr.<br />
Michael Fitzmaurice. Our patients are<br />
evaluated as soon as possible and may<br />
receive on-site x-rays or ultrasound for<br />
an effective diagnosis and treatment<br />
plan. If necessary, minimally invasive<br />
surgery can be performed within the<br />
same day to ensure the best possible<br />
outcome.<br />
At our center, we treat a wide range of<br />
hand and wrist injuries, including (but<br />
not limited to) the following:<br />
• Lacerations<br />
• Fractures<br />
• Broken bones<br />
• Contusions<br />
• Dislocations<br />
• Sprains<br />
• Nerve damage<br />
• Tendon injuries<br />
Skip the stress, excessive wait times,<br />
and costly appointments at a hospital<br />
emergency room. Get the urgent care<br />
you need for the fastest recovery<br />
possible at Hand & Wrist Urgent Care!<br />
It’s no secret that exercising benefits beyond<br />
physical aspects. I know from personal experience,<br />
nothing calms my stressful days like<br />
a challenging group fitness class. Our cover<br />
feature, Jennifer Bowie, emphasizes the<br />
mind-body connection in her practice. With<br />
a background in psychology and as a certified fitness instructor,<br />
she automatically sees the two as one. On page 40, she talks about<br />
self-care, her love for Pilates and furthering her education to help<br />
others.<br />
Sam Helmer (page 42) is another woman who focuses on her<br />
strength within. She has lost 96 pounds since she started her<br />
transformation journey five years ago, and has gained a whole lot<br />
of self-confidence and self-respect.<br />
We also have tips to de-stress your dog (and yourself!) if your<br />
pet is feeling a little anxious (page 44), the health benefits of eating<br />
lobster (page 16), and eight crazy facts about the muscular<br />
system (page 38).<br />
On the topic of muscle, one of our past cover features, Megan<br />
Rigby, is now a soon-to-be mama and sticking with her fitness<br />
routine. She shares a safe pregnancy workout on page 26. Or, if<br />
yoga is more of your thing, page 36 has gear to take your practice<br />
to the next level. Namaste!<br />
Best,<br />
