Understanding Hand & Wrist Pain
Hand and wrist pain affects nearly 10-24% of the population. This pain can significantly impair daily activities like typing, gripping, or lifting, often leading to frustration and a diminished quality of life. Our tailored approach to knee pain management is designed to:
- Enhancing joint stability and improving range of motion in the hand and wrist
- Alleviating pain and reducing inflammation in the affected joints, tendons, and surrounding tissues
- Addressing root causes such as cartilage damage, ligament instability, repetitive strain injuries, or tendonitis
- Developing a sustainable plan for maintaining long-term hand and wrist health
Hand & Wrist Pain in Athletes
Athletes at all levels often face hand and wrist injuries due to falls, impacts, or repetitive stress. Sports like gymnastics, tennis, and rock climbing are common culprits. Conditions such as tendonitis, sprains, or fractures can sideline athletes and disrupt performance.

Our approach is focused on addressing the root causes of pain and dysfunction to help athletes:
