Treatment for Wrist Injury
After a Wrist Injury, proper rehabilitation and care is essential for a successful recovery. We use our hands and wrist on a daily basis so proper rehabilitation is crucial to restore proper function. A treatment plan for Wrist Injury often involves managing pain, bracing, and participating in specific rehabilitation exercises.

Acute - ligament sprain is often caused by an overextension of the wrist and most often occurs from a fall forward onto an outstretched hand.
Overuse - repetitive use of the wrist can lead to several conditions.
Common Wrist Injuries We Treat:
- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: a repetitive use injury involving impingement of the medial nerve that gets compressed at the wrist causing tingling, numbness, weakness and/or pain.
- Osteoarthritis: repetitive flexion, extension or other movement of the wrist resulting in wear and tear arthritis to build up in the carpal (wrist) joints.
- Sprains or Strains: Acute injuries to a ligament or muscle/tendon. Usually a result of a fall on an outstretched hand.
- Tendonitis: inflammation of a tendon in the wrist as a result of overuse.
