Wrist Pain

Wrist joint pain likely means that one or more of the eight small bones in your wrist is not moving fluidly, resulting in stiffness and discomfort. Imagine your wrist as a series of small, interconnected gears. When one gear isn't moving correctly, it can cause pain, stiffness, and difficulty with hand movements. This dysfunction can arise from repetitive strain, an injury, or conditions like arthritis. Symptoms often include a reduced range of motion, swelling, and discomfort during activities like typing or gripping. 

Wrist pain can be caused by overuse, repetitive movements, or other previous injuries. Sometimes posture related causes like prolonged computer use can also cause wrist pain.

If not addressed, this issue could progress to early-onset arthritis. Our clinic offers treatments to improve joint movement. Joint mobilization can help decrease pain. We also may recommend avoiding certain aggravating factors and encourage at-home exercises or stretches to alleviate symptoms.
