Understanding Wrist and Hand Injuries:

The wrijst and hand are intricate structures with an extensive network of bones, tendons, ligaments, and nerves. Wrist pain, inflammation, and strain injuries can result from trauma, repetitive motion, or overuse, affecting mobility and function.

Common Causes and Types of Injuries:

  • Trauma: Accidents, falls, or direct blows to the hand or wrist can result in fractures, sprains, or dislocations.

  • Overuse: Repetitive activities, such as typing, using handheld devices, or engaging in certain sports, can lead to overuse injuries like tendonitis or carpal tunnel syndrome.

  • Arthritis: Degenerative conditions like osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis can affect the joints in the hands and wrists, causing pain and stiffness.

Recognizing Symptoms of Wrist and Hand Conditions:

Identifying the early signs of wrist and hand injuries is crucial for prompt intervention and effective treatment:

  • Pain and Swelling: Persistent pain, swelling, or tenderness in the hands or wrists may indicate an underlying issue.

  • Reduced Range of Motion: Difficulty moving the fingers, hand, or wrist may be a sign of joint or tendon problems.
