Common Causes of Wrist Pain

Our hands are used constantly, making them especially prone to injuries, particularly from overuse. While some injuries are unavoidable, proper care can help prevent certain conditions. Wrist overuse injuries are common among individuals who engage in physically demanding tasks or repetitive activities, such as manual laborers or those who use computers frequently.

Traumatic wrist injuries often result from falling onto an outstretched arm, with wrist fractures being a common type of injury from such falls. As with most injuries, addressing them early can help speed up your recovery!

Visit Perfect Balance Physiotherapy to determine the cause of your wrist pain and discover effective solutions for relief.

Here are some of the most common causes of wrist pain:

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

If your hands, wrists, or forearms ache on a daily basis, or if typing and holding things has become particularly difficult and uncomfortable for you, you may have carpal tunnel syndrome.

Carpal tunnel syndrome is a medical condition that causes tingling and numbness in your fingers and hand. Typically, the symptoms are felt in the thumb and index fingers, as well as the middle and ring fingers. For some, the condition will worsen, causing hand weakness and people to drop items.

Carpal tunnel syndrome is frequently associated with overuse injuries, particularly among construction and manufacturing workers who must lift, grip, and perform forceful wrist motions. Or sports such as golf, tennis/pickleball, and rock climbing.

Your carpal tunnel is a narrow channel located on your wrist under your palm that is about the width of your thumb. It safeguards the median nerve as well as the tendons that allow you to bend your fingers. Excessive pressure on the median nerve causes crowding and irritation of the carpal tunnel, making it difficult for it to function correctly.

Carpal tunnel syndrome causes painful stinging sensations when moving the arm, hand, or wrist. The pain usually spreads to the fingers, hands, wrists, or forearms. Overuse of the wrist and regular, repetitive motions, such as typing or writing, can lead to this condition.

De Quervain's Tenosynovitis

De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis is a painful condition aYecting the tendons on the thumb side of the wrist. It occurs when the tendons become irritated or inﬂamed, causing pain, swelling, and diYiculty with gripping or rotating the wrist and thumb. It’s often triggered by repetitive hand movements or overuse.

Arthritis

There are many different types of arthritis, but one thing they all have in common is that they cause mild to severe pain in the joints, muscles, ligaments, and tendons.
Arthritis pain is also directly related to mobility limitations in these areas. This condition can affect anyone at any age, but it is most common in the hands of aging adults. It causes swelling, stiffness, weakness, and inflammation, making it difficult to grasp items or move the hands, wrists, and fingers comfortably.
The hand is vulnerable to both traumatic and repetitive stress injuries. A thorough evaluation is the first step toward determining the nature of your injury and developing a successful treatment plan.

Wrist and Hand Fractures

Wrist and hand fractures are common injuries resulting from trauma, such as falls or accidents. These fractures can range from simple bone breaks to more complex injuries involving multiple bones or joints. Post-trauma care focuses on proper healing, restoring mobility, and preventing long-term disability, often through a combination of immobilization, rehabilitation, and, in some cases, surgery.
