Wrist and hand pain is a common condition that can affect people of all ages.
Whether your symptoms are caused by injury, repetitive strain or an underlying condition, many cases respond well to treatment.
At Wellthy Clinic, we provide personalised care to help reduce pain, improve function and support recovery.
The wrist and hand are made up of joints, muscles, tendons and nerves.
When these become irritated or injured, pain and reduced movement can occur.
Early assessment can help identify the cause and support recovery.
Common symptoms and signs of wrist & hand pain include:
At Wellthy Clinic, we begin with a thorough assessment to identify the cause of your symptoms and create a treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Treatment may include osteopathy, musculoskeletal care, manual therapy and rehabilitation exercises to reduce pain and improve function.
Several conditions can contribute to wrist and hand pain:
Numbness, tingling or weakness caused by pressure on a nerve in the wrist.
Pain around the thumb side of the wrist, often during gripping or lifting.
A ligament injury causing pain, swelling and reduced movement.
Damage to cartilage in the wrist causing pain, especially when twisting or gripping.
A finger that catches, locks or clicks during movement.
Wear and tear at the base of the thumb causing pain and reduced grip strength.
Thickening of tissue in the palm that gradually bends one or more fingers
Wrist and hand pain can be caused by injury, repetitive strain, arthritis, nerve compression or conditions affecting the tendons and ligaments.
Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when the median nerve becomes compressed at the wrist, causing numbness, tingling and weakness in the hand.
Some mild cases improve with rest, but persistent symptoms may benefit from professional assessment and treatment.
If your symptoms last more than a few weeks, worsen or affect your daily activities, it is worth seeking professional advice.
Osteopathy may help improve movement, reduce pain and support recovery as part of a personalised treatment plan.
Recovery depends on the underlying cause, but many people improve with appropriate treatment and rehabilitation.
