Wrist pain is an extremely common complaint, and there are many common causes of this problem. It is important to make an accurate diagnosis of the cause of your symptoms so that appropriate treatment can be directed at the cause.
Injury to the sensitive structures of the wrist and hand, or inflammatory conditions such as bursitis or tendonitis often respond well to conservative physical therapy. Conversely if left untreated, may require more invasive medical treatments such as injections or even surgery. The following is a partial list of conditions that we treat successfully at our office:
- Sprain
Wrist sprains are common injuries to the ligaments around the wrist joint. Sprains can cause problems by limiting the use of our hands.
If you are experiencing symptoms associated with Tendonitis or Sprain, call our office today to see how our techniques can benefit you. (516) 433-5396
- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Carpal tunnel syndrome is the condition that results from dysfunction of one of the nerves in the wrist. In carpal tunnel syndrome the median nerve is compressed, or pinched off, as it passes through the wrist joint.
