The frequent use of our complex and delicate extremities like the wrist makes them highly susceptible to injury. Pain can range from persistent discomfort while performing tasks like writing to difficulty with basic activities such as standing or walking. Severe cases can render the wrist completely useless. Various causes and types of pain can originate from the bones, joints, tendons, nerves, or connective tissues. Common sources of pain include inflammation, nerve damage, repetitive motion injuries, sprains, fractures, or underlying chronic health conditions.
Wrist pain is commonly caused by car accidents, sudden injuries such as sprains or fractures, or long-term conditions like repetitive stress, arthritis, and carpal tunnel syndrome. Given the variety of possible causes and complex nature of the wrist, accurately diagnosing wrist pain is crucial to a proper recovery. A County Line chiropractor can help you identify the root cause of your wrist pain, and guide you toward an effective and manageable recovery and rehab plan.
