Elbow / Hand / Wrist
Pain or dysfunction in the elbow, hand, or wrist can significantly interfere with your ability to perform daily tasks, from typing at work to gripping objects or enjoying hobbies like cooking or gardening. At Somatic Physical Therapy, we specialize in treating these complex and delicate areas of the body, helping you regain strength, function, and comfort.
Common Causes of Elbow, Hand, or Wrist Pain
Your elbow, hand, and wrist are intricate structures that work together to provide motion, strength, and dexterity. This complexity makes them vulnerable to pain and injury from a variety of factors, such as:
- Repetitive Strain Injuries like tennis elbow or carpal tunnel syndrome
- Tendonitis or ligament sprains from overuse or trauma
- Arthritis (osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis)
- Nerve compression affecting sensation or movement
- Fractures or dislocations from accidents or falls
- Trigger finger or other tendon-related conditions
- Overuse or strain from ergonomic issues
These conditions can make it difficult to do basic tasks such as lifting, typing, or buttoning a shirt, leading to frustration and a loss of independence.
