Wrist & hand Pain
Wrist and hand pain can be one of the most persistent and debilitating problems. This is because we need our hands and wrists for things we do every day like our job, housework, carrying groceries and driving so having wrist or hand pain is certainly hard to ignore.
Our experience working with footballers, CrossFit athletes and labour intensive workers has led to a vast knowledge of hand, wrist and finger injuries.
what are the common causes of wrist and hand pain?
- overuse and repetitive movements which lead to strain of surrounding tendons and muscles.
- wrist instability resulting from repeated sprain. -osteoarthritis due to increased wear and tear in the wrist and fingers is a common problem.
- Carpal tunnel syndrome from irritation of the nerve at the wrist.
- An acute injury can occur from a fall, a ball hitting a finger or an error lifting weights.
A thorough assessment process to determine a diagnosis is extremely important. This is because some injuries of the hand and wrist are time sensitive and require referred management. We can help get you out of pain and make sure it doesn’t return.
How is wrist and hand pain treated?
Treatment options include:
- Soft tissue/ART on muscles, tendons, ligaments, joint capsules.
