Common Causes of Wrist Pain
Wrist pain is a problem that can be caused by a variety of factors, including injury, overuse, and medical conditions. Here are the most common causes of wrist pain treated by our physiotherapists:
- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome – This condition occurs when the median nerve is compressed as it passes through the wrist bones. Symptoms include numbness, tingling and weakness in the hand.
- Wrist Sprain – A wrist sprain is an injury to the ligaments. This can happen due to a fall, sudden impact, or repetitive stress. Symptoms include swelling, pain and limited range of motion with moving the wrist or putting weight on it.
- Tendinitis – Tendonitis is inflammation of the tendons to the wrist and hand due to repetitive motion, such as typing or playing a musical instrument.
- Arthritis – The wrist joint can be affected by osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.
- Fractures – Wrist fractures are common and can happen from a fall or other trauma.
Symptoms of the above conditions include pain, stiffness, swelling, and limited range of motion.
