Wrist pain is a common symptom stemming from various health conditions and injuries that affect the wrist. It can result from sudden injuries like sprains or fractures, as well as from chronic issues such as repetitive stress, arthritis, and carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS).
Most cases of wrist pain are mild and can resolve with rest and at-home treatment. Appropriate and timely treatment of wrist pain can improve its prognosis, and most people find relief after seeking conservative treatment for their wrist pain without the need for invasive procedures.
Symptoms of This Condition:
Swelling and Tenderness
Stiffness or Limited Motion
Tingling or Numbness
Weak Grip Strength
Radiating Pain to Forearm
Clicking or Popping Sensation
Bruising or Warmth Around Wrist
How Serious Can Wrist Pain Become?
Wrist pain can range from mild discomfort to chronic, disabling pain depending on its cause. While minor cases often improve with rest, persistent pain may limit movement and daily function, requiring professional assessment. If trauma is involved, an X-ray should rule out fractures before starting conservative treatment. Because wrist pain can stem from tendon, ligament, or nerve issues, consulting a physiotherapist, chiropractor, or massage therapist helps ensure proper diagnosis and recovery.
Common Causes of Condition Include:
Traumatic Injuries (sudden impacts, falls, sprains and strains)
Fractures and Broken Bones
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Repetitive Stress
Arthritis (osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis)
Tendonitis (inflammation of the wrist tendons)
