Other common factors contributing to wrist pain include:
– Tumors such as Glomus Tumor, Ganglion Cyst, and Osteochondroma
– Carpal instability
– Distal Radius Fracture (fracture at the end of the radius bone near the wrist joint)
– Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
– Chronic Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS)
WRIST PAIN TREATMENT THROUGH PHYSICAL THERAPY:
When experiencing acute or chronic wrist pain, your healthcare provider may recommend physical therapy as a conservative treatment option. Physical therapy is also beneficial before and after surgery to aid in pre-operative and post-operative recovery, facilitating the return of function.
If you are referred for therapy, it’s important to know that you have the freedom to choose where you receive your care, even if your referring physician suggests another therapy practice. We offer comprehensive wrist therapy services and would be a suitable choice for addressing your specific wrist-related needs.
Joint pain refers to discomfort or pain experienced in the areas where two or more bones meet to form a joint, including the cartilage, bone, ligaments, tendons, muscles, and bursae surrounding the joint. It is commonly caused by normal wear and tear, injuries, or certain diseases.
Various conditions can contribute to joint pain, including:
– Arthritis (Arthralgia): such as Osteoarthritis (OA) and Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA)
– Muscle Strain: overstretching or tearing of a muscle
– Tendon Strain: overstretching or tearing of a tendon (connects muscle to bone)
– Sprains: overstretching or tearing of a ligament (connects two bones)
– Fibromyalgia: an autoimmune disorder causing widespread muscle pain and tenderness
– Bursitis: inflammation of the fluid-filled sacs that protect the joints
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, our physical therapists can likely provide assistance. Joint pain is a common condition we treat regularly. One effective treatment approach we employ is joint mobilization.
