Common Wrist and Hand Conditions and How We Can Help

The wrist and hand are integral to almost every activity we perform, and when they are affected by pain or injury, it can have a significant impact on your daily life. Wrist and hand conditions can result from a variety of causes such as repetitive strain, trauma, and degeneration. At our clinic, we specialize in diagnosing and treating common wrist and hand conditions using advanced techniques like physiotherapy, injections, PRP, PRF, and shockwave therapy to provide effective relief and restore function.

Common Wrist and Hand Conditions and Their Symptoms

Wrist and hand conditions are often caused by overuse, aging, or direct injury to the structures in the hand or wrist. Below are some of the most common wrist and hand conditions we treat at our clinic:

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS)

Symptoms:

Trigger Finger (Stenosing Tenosynovitis)

How Our Clinic Can Help with Wrist and Hand Conditions

At our clinic, we offer a range of advanced treatments to manage wrist and hand conditions effectively. Our goal is to provide you with relief, restore movement, and prevent future injuries using a comprehensive approach. The treatments we offer include physiotherapy, injections, PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma), and shockwave therapy.

Physiotherapy for Wrist and Hand Conditions

Physiotherapy is a cornerstone of treatment for wrist and hand conditions. It focuses on restoring movement, reducing pain, and improving the strength of the muscles and tendons around the affected area.

Targeted Exercises: Strengthening and stretching exercises are tailored to the specific condition, aiming to reduce pain, improve function, and prevent further injury.
Manual Therapy: Soft tissue mobilization and joint manipulation techniques are used to restore movement and reduce stiffness in the wrist or hand.
Splinting and Bracing: In cases such as carpal tunnel syndrome or tendonitis, we may recommend custom splints to support the wrist and prevent aggravating movements.
Ergonomics and Lifestyle Advice: We provide guidance on proper posture, body mechanics, and ergonomic setups to reduce strain on the wrists and hands during daily activities.

Injections for Wrist and Hand Pain Relief

Injection therapies can provide immediate relief from pain and inflammation in the wrist and hand, particularly for conditions like arthritis, tendonitis, or bursitis.

Corticosteroid Injections

How It Works: Corticosteroid injections deliver powerful anti-inflammatory medication directly into the affected area to reduce pain, swelling, and inflammation.
Best For: Carpal tunnel syndrome, De Quervain’s tenosynovitis, arthritis of the wrist and hand – First CMC joint, finger OA, and trigger finger.
Benefits: Rapid pain relief and reduced inflammation, allowing for improved movement and function.

Hyaluronic Acid Injections

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy

PRP therapy uses your own blood to promote healing in the affected wrist or hand. PRP is rich in growth factors that accelerate tissue repair and regeneration.

How It Works: A small sample of your blood is drawn, processed to concentrate the platelets, and then injected into the affected tendon, ligament, or joint. The growth factors in the PRP help stimulate healing, reduce inflammation, and improve function.
Best For: De Quervain’s tenosynovitis, trigger finger, arthritis, and tendon injuries in the wrist or hand.
Benefits:
Natural healing using your own cells
Reduced inflammation and pain
Promotes tissue regeneration and healing
Non-surgical and minimally invasive

Shockwave Therapy for Wrist and Hand Conditions

Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses high-energy sound waves to stimulate healing in the affected tissues.

How It Works: Shockwave therapy delivers acoustic waves to the affected area, increasing blood flow, stimulating collagen production, and encouraging tissue regeneration. This leads to pain reduction, improved flexibility, and enhanced healing.
Best For: Tendonitis (e.g., De Quervain’s), trigger finger, wrist arthritis, and other chronic hand and wrist conditions.
Benefits:
Non-invasive and fast
Reduces pain and inflammation
Stimulates healing and collagen production
Improves range of motion and function
