Common Causes of Wrist Pain
Wrist pain is a common problem that can be caused by a variety of factors, including injury, overuse, and medical conditions. Here are the most common causes of wrist pain our physical therapists see:
- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome – This condition occurs when the median nerve is compressed as it passes through the wrist. Symptoms include numbness, tingling, and weakness in the hand.
- Wrist Sprain – A wrist sprain is an injury to the ligaments. This can happen due to a fall, sudden impact, or repetitive stress. Symptoms include swelling, pain, and limited range of motion.
- Tendinitis – Tendonitis is inflammation of the tendons in the wrist due to repetitive motion, such as typing or playing a musical instrument. Symptoms include pain, stiffness, and swelling.
- Arthritis – The wrist joint can be affected by osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, causing pain, stiffness, and limited range of motion.
