About me

Julia Carrington is a doctor of occupational therapy and certified hand therapist, who specializes in conditions of the hand, wrist and elbow, including treatment after surgery and conditions such as tendonitis, nerve compression or injury, arthritis and fractures. She is also trained to make custom thermoplastic orthoses to help with pain management, joint protection, postsurgical protection and increasing joint motion. She enjoys educating patients regarding the anatomy and physiology of their conditions and the rationale behind the therapeutic interventions, so they feel more empowered and safe adhering to her recommendations.

Prior to joining OHSU, she worked at The Doctors Clinic in Silverdale, Washington, for more than five years in hand therapy with the orthopedic department.

Julia is a native Oregonian and an avid Trailblazers and OSU Beavers fan. Outside of work hours, she enjoys playing handball, playing board and card games, spending time with loved ones and traveling.

Insurance

Before scheduling your appointment, we recommend you contact your insurance company to verify that the OHSU Health location or provider you plan to visit is included in your network. Your insurance company will also be able to inform you of any copayments, co–insurance, or deductibles that will be your responsibility. If you proceed in scheduling an appointment and your health insurance benefits do not participate with OHSU providers, your out of pocket liability may be higher.
