Wrist Pain Treatment
Wrist pain treatment begins with identifying whether your symptoms relate to repetitive strain, injury, joint movement, or a particular task.
About this condition
Wrist pain can stem from repetitive strain injury (RSI), sprained ligaments, tendinitis, or joint problems like osteoarthritis. It's increasingly common among people who do extensive computer work or repetitive manual tasks. Symptoms may include aching, swelling, or sharp pain with certain movements.
Depending on your symptoms and assessment, suitable care may include Osteopathy or Sports Therapy. Your practitioner will explain which option is appropriate and when another healthcare professional or further assessment may be needed.
Common symptoms
- Aching or burning in the wrist
- Pain with specific movements like typing or gripping
- Swelling or stiffness
- Reduced grip strength
- Tenderness over specific wrist tendons
