Hand, Wrist & Elbow Pain

The hand, wrist, and elbow are essential for daily activities, from simple tasks like writing and gripping to complex movements in sports and work. Due to their constant use, these joints are highly prone to injuries, repetitive strain, and degenerative conditions.

Common causes of hand, wrist, and elbow pain include overuse, nerve compression, inflammation, trauma, and poor ergonomics. These conditions can lead to stiffness, weakness, swelling, and restricted movement, affecting both professional and personal life.

Early diagnosis and physiotherapy intervention play a crucial role in pain relief, restoring function, and preventing long-term damage. With proper care, individuals can regain strength, mobility, and pain-free movement.

Causes

Repetitive Strain & Overuse

✅ Constant typing, gripping, lifting, or repetitive wrist movements can strain the tendons and nerves, leading to conditions like Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Tennis Elbow, and De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis. ✅ Jobs that involve manual labor, computer work, or sports activities increase the risk of chronic inflammation and pain

good posture

Poor Posture & Ergonomics

✅ Incorrect hand and wrist positioning while typing, using a mouse, or lifting objects puts extra pressure on the nerves and tendons. ✅ Poor wrist alignment can cause nerve compression (Carpal Tunnel Syndrome) or excessive strain on the elbow tendons (Tennis Elbow).
