What Causes Hand and Wrist Pain?
Hand and wrist pain can develop from repetitive stress, nerve compression, arthritis, tendon inflammation, injury, or overuse. Because the hands and wrists are involved in nearly every daily activity, pain and weakness in these areas can greatly interfere with work, sleep, grip strength, and quality of life.
Common conditions associated with hand and wrist pain include carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, arthritis, nerve irritation, sprains, and repetitive motion injuries. Patients may experience numbness, tingling, weakness, stiffness, swelling, or sharp pain that worsens with activity.
In some cases, symptoms may originate from nerve compression in the neck or upper extremities rather than the wrist itself. Accurate diagnosis is important in determining the true source of discomfort and selecting the most effective treatment plan.
At Arizona Pain Treatment Centers, our providers focus on conservative and restorative treatment options designed to relieve pain, improve function, and restore mobility in the hands and wrists.
