Treating Wrist and Hand Pain

Acute Wrist and Hand Pain

A large part of the brain is reserved to look after the wrist and hand muscles. This versatile part of our body is designed to handle the most delicate of activities such as sewing and crafts but can also act as a weapon in martial arts. 

If an unexpected object comes into sudden contact with your hand or wrist then it may cause damage and interfere with its fine control. Its many bones may suffer strains and sprains causing wrist pain, hand injuries and wrist joint pain requiring wrist pain relief.

Different types of hand pain problems

People experience different types of hand pain and wrist pain as a result of either a sports injury or from strenuous work that involves hand and wrist movement. Some of the other known names for hand injury are:

• Carpal tunnel syndrome
• Sprained wrist
• Pisiform strain
• Sprained thumb
• Ulnar nerve pain
• Shot putters fingers
• Mallet finger
• Scaphoid fracture
• Tennis wrist
• Paddlers wrist – De Quervain’s

Please note: There are so many bones and joints in fingers and wrists that makes self-diagnosis of a sprain or break quite difficult. Seek medical advice for an accurate consultation.
