Your wrist hurts when leaning on it (push-ups, getting out of bed), gripping and twisting objects, or after long typing? It is a complex joint with many small structures \u2014 which is why “wrist pain” has very different causes, and a precise diagnosis is essential.<\/p>\n

What can wrist pain mean?<\/h2>\n

The most common: De Quervain’s tenosynovitis (pain on the thumb side, lifting weights or babies), carpal tunnel syndrome (numbness plus pain), flexor\/extensor tendinitis, triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) injuries (pain on the little-finger side with twisting), after-effects of old sprains or fractures and, more rarely, arthritis.<\/p>\n

Symptoms worth noting<\/h2>\n

Thumb-side pain with gripping (De Quervain’s), little-finger-side pain with twisting (TFCC), associated numbness (carpal tunnel), pain leaning on the palm (joint loading), swelling or morning stiffness.<\/p>\n

Common causes<\/h2>\n

Repetitive movements (keyboard, mouse, phone, manual trades, baby care), sports overload (gymnastics, tennis, weightlifting), old incompletely rehabilitated sprains and fractures, and poor wrist posture.<\/p>\n

Can it be treated without surgery?<\/h2>\n

The vast majority \u2014 yes: smart relative rest, manual therapy, a progressive strength and mobility programme, ergonomics and, if needed, a temporary splint. Surgical cases (some TFCC injuries, severe carpal tunnel) are identified at assessment.<\/p>\n

How we treat wrist pain at Medicine Park<\/h2>\n

We localise the affected structure precisely (thumb side vs little-finger side vs diffuse), test the forearm\u2013elbow\u2013shoulder chain too, then build the plan: manual therapy, progressive loading, nerve mobilisation where needed, and ergonomic and technique adjustments. All in English.<\/p>\n

How long does recovery take?<\/h2>\n

Tendinitis: 4\u20138 weeks. TFCC injuries and after-effects: longer, staged. Realistic timeline at assessment.<\/p>\n

When to seek help<\/h2>\n

If wrist pain persists beyond two weeks or numbness appears, book an assessment. Your first assessment at Medicine Park is free.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
