Hand & Wrist Pain
The hands and wrists are complex structures composed of 27 bones, multiple joints, tendons, and ligaments, playing a crucial role in nearly every daily activity. Pain in these areas can result from overuse, repetitive motion, trauma, or medical conditions.
Common Causes of Hand & Wrist Pain

De Quervain’s Disease – Tendon inflammation affecting thumb movement
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome – Compression of the median nerve causing numbness, tingling, and weakness
Sprains and Strains – Injuries to ligaments and muscles from trauma or overuse

These conditions can cause pain, swelling, weakness, stiffness, and reduced range of motion.
