Wrist Pain Relief

Your carpal tunnel is a narrow channel located on your wrist under your palm that is about the width of your thumb. It safeguards the median nerve as well as the tendons that allow you to bend your fingers. Excessive pressure on the median nerve causes crowding and irritation of the carpal tunnel, making it difficult for it to function correctly. As a result, you may feel pain in your hands, fingers, and forearms, experience tingling and numbness in your fingers and hand or have weakness and frequently drop items.

Carpal tunnel syndrome is frequently associated with overuse of the hands and fingers and is most associated with construction and manufacturing workers who must lift, grip, and perform forceful wrist motions, office workers who frequently type, or musicians. Sports such as golf, tennis/pickleball, and rock climbing may also be contributing factors.

There are many different types of arthritis, but one thing they all have in common is that they cause mild to severe pain in the joints, muscles, ligaments, and tendons.

Arthritis pain is also directly related to mobility limitations in these areas. This condition can affect anyone at any age, but it is most common in the hands of aging adults. It causes swelling, stiffness, weakness, and inflammation, making it difficult to grasp items or move the hands, wrists, and fingers comfortably.

The hand is vulnerable to both traumatic and repetitive stress injuries. A thorough evaluation is the first step toward determining the nature of your injury and developing a successful treatment plan.
