Pain in the Wrist and Hand & Treatment Options
Our hands serve many purposes. Hands help us eat, dress, write, earn a living, create art, and do many other activities. To do this, our hands require sensation and movement, such as joint motion, tendon gliding, and muscle contraction.
Having full, pain-free use of the hands, wrists, and arms is something many of us can easily take for granted until we sustain an injury or develop a disorder that causes pain or limited movement of these crucial body parts. If an injury occurs, you are quickly reminded just how important your hands, wrists, and arms are to just about every activity you perform.
