What Is Wrist Pain?
Wrist pain will present differently depending on what’s causing the pain. Depending on the cause of your pain, you may experience any of the following:
- Deep, dull, aching pain in your joint
- Numbing or tingling sensation
- Sharp or stabbing pain
- Burning sensation
- Visibly red and swollen
When you have pain in your wrists, daily tasks become harder to perform as everything becomes a little—or a lot—more challenging.
What Causes Wrist Pain?
There are a few potential causes for wrist pain, including:
- Sudden trauma which may have been caused by a car accident, getting your wrist caught in machinery, or injuring it in a fall
- High-impact sports like football or gymnastics may put you at a higher risk of wrist injury
- Overuse injuries that result from repeated motion over a period of time
- Arthritis, which occurs when small joints in your hands become inflamed
- Carpal tunnel syndrome caused by the compression of a nerve passing through your wrist
How To Treat Wrist Pain
Physical therapy for wrist pain can help you finally diagnose the cause of your pain, which in turn will allow you to effectively treat your condition and help you get back to living your life fully and freely. Our team of professionals at Chiron will create a treatment plan that will focus on:
- Reducing Pain and Swelling: We will use different treatments and technologies to reduce your pain and swelling, including non-invasive, FDA-approved laser therapy, which uses your body’s own natural healing process to speed recovery, ice, heat, and/or electrical stimulation.
- Improving Range of Motion: Through exercise and hands-on treatment (manual therapy), we will work to restore normal motion and agility, improve flexibility, and decrease strain.
- Improving Strength: We will design a program to target muscle weakness or imbalances that may have contributed to or now exist as a result.
- Functional Training: Once your pain, strength, and motion improve, we address movements and tasks required in your daily and recreational life.
Depending on the cause of your wrist pain, we will target exercises that can help restore function, flexibility, and strength. And hopefully, prevent any need for surgery or continuing to take pain medications to manage your pain.
