What Causes Pain At The Wrist?
Wrist pain can be caused by a number of factors, including a fall or overuse injury. Sports like racquetball or tennis are common causes of wrist pain due to the repetitive actions like catching, throwing, or gripping that may lead to ‘an overuse injury’ or ‘strain’‘.
Falls And Sports – Wrist And Hand Injuries
Wrist sprains often occur when you fall onto outstretched hands while playing sports. Wrist fractures are also very common in older people who may have poor vision or balance and loss their footing and naturally use their wrist to break their fall.
Carpel Tunnel Syndrome
Another cause of wrist pain is nerve-like pain, often coupled with altered sensation down the arm and into the hand, and reduced grip strength. It is often referred to as carpel tunnel syndrome.
Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when a nerve (the median nerve) that runs from the neck all the way down the arm into the fingers gets compressed at the wrist where the nerve runs through a tunnel of tendons and connective tissue.
Wrist pain is also a common work-related complaint for those with manual jobs, for example; carpenters, landscapers, and even physiotherapists, and nurses.
Our physiotherapist offers specific exercises to rehabilitate carpel tunnel syndrome.
Arthritis: OA And RA.
Arthritis is a condition that can affect any joint in the body. Osteoarthritis (OA) commonly affects the large joints in the body, like the knees and hips. Whereas Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), an auto-immune condition, and gout often affect smaller joints – like the wrists and fingers.
It is so important to be proactive when it comes to arthritis as it is progressive. It is so important to maintain good dexterity and grip strength for day-to-day activities, like riding a bike or grocery shopping.
Our team will design goal-specific treatment plans to help you maintain strength in the wrist and hands and keep doing the things you love.
