Understanding Wrist and Hand Pain
The wrist and hand contain many small bones, tendons, and nerves that work together for precise movement.
Common causes include:

• Tendonitis and tenosynovitis from overuse
• De Quervain’s tenosynovitis (thumb side of wrist)
• Trigger finger from tendon inflammation
• Osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis
• Sprains and fractures from falls or sports
• Nerve compression and neuropathy
Our physiotherapists assess your hand and wrist function, identify the source of your pain, and design a targeted treatment plan for your condition.
