Expert Physical Therapy for Wrist and Hand Pain Relief

Common Causes of Wrist and Hand Pain

​

• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: This condition results from compression of the median nerve as it passes through the carpal tunnel in the wrist, causing pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness in the hand and fingers.

​

• Tendonitis: Inflammation of the tendons in the wrist, such as De Quervain's tendonitis, often results from repetitive motions or overuse. It can lead to pain, swelling, and difficulty moving the wrist and thumb.

​

• Arthritis: Osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis can affect the joints in the hands and wrists, causing stiffness, swelling, and joint pain, particularly with movement and gripping.

​

• Wrist Sprains: A wrist sprain occurs when ligaments in the wrist are overstretched or torn, often due to a fall or sudden impact. Sprains cause pain, swelling, and difficulty moving the wrist.

 

​​How Our Physical Therapy Clinic Treats Wrist and Hand Pain

​

At our Efland clinic, our physical therapists create individualized treatment plans tailored to the specific causes of your wrist and hand pain. Our approach includes:

​

• Manual Therapy: Techniques such as soft tissue massage, joint mobilization, and myofascial release improve circulation, reduce inflammation, and help restore mobility in the wrist and hand.

​

• Strengthening and Stabilization Exercises: We guide you through targeted exercises to build strength and stability in the wrist, hand, and forearm muscles, helping support the affected areas and prevent reinjury.

​

• Range of Motion and Flexibility Exercises: Stretching exercises relieve stiffness and improve the flexibility of tendons and ligaments in the wrist and hand, aiding recovery from conditions like tendonitis and arthritis.

​

• Nerve Gliding Exercises: For carpal tunnel syndrome and similar nerve-related conditions, nerve gliding exercises help relieve pressure on the median nerve, reducing symptoms like numbness and tingling.

​

• Ergonomic Training and Activity Modification: Our therapists provide guidance on ergonomic adjustments and activity modifications to minimize strain and prevent further injury to the wrist and hand.

 

By addressing the underlying causes of wrist and hand pain, we help you restore strength, improve range of motion, and get back to daily activities with confidence.
