Tailored Physical Therapy for Hand & Wrist Pain

Hand & wrist pain may not get the same attention as back pain, but it is the second-most common cause of missed work according to a 2016 report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. While surgery is sometimes required, physical therapy can often help reduce this type of pain and improve function in the hands and wrists.

The best professional to treat hand and wrist pain is a specialized hand therapist. This highly-trained therapist can utilize a number of effective techniques to customize your hand recovery.

With active listening, thorough assessments, and deep expertise, a hand therapist can tailor a treatment plan to your hand & wrist needs and get you back to your daily activities more quickly.

Symptoms and Causes of Hand & Wrist Pain

Wrist and hand pain can take a number of forms. You may have difficulty performing tasks such as making a fist or picking up an object without pain, or you may experience nerve pain traveling through your hand or wrist or even up through your arm. Other symptoms may include weakness, tingling, and numbness throughout the wrist or hand.

Carpal tunnel syndrome is a common cause of pain in the hands and wrists. Typically the result of overuse in activities such as using a computer, carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when the median nerve running through the wrist is compressed due to swelling, fracture, or other issues.

Other common causes of hand and wrist pain include the following:

Trigger finger
Sports injuries
Torn ligaments
Fractures

Tenosynovitis
Tendinitis
Arthritis
