What Causes Wrist Pain?

Wrist pain can develop from various issues, many of which can be effectively managed with chiropractic care. Common causes include:

  • Repetitive Strain Injuries (RSIs): Repeated activities like typing, writing, or assembly line work can overwork the muscles and tendons, leading to pain and stiffness.
  • Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: Overuse or poor wrist positioning can compress the median nerve, causing pain, tingling, and numbness.
  • Tendinitis: Repeated motion or overuse can inflame the wrist tendons, resulting in discomfort and restricted movement.
  • Joint Misalignment: Improper posture, repetitive movements, or injury can lead to misalignment in the wrist joints, creating chronic pain and a limited range of motion.
  • Sprains or Minor Injuries: Twisting, overextending, or overloading the wrist can damage ligaments, resulting in pain.
  • De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis: Repetitive gripping or twisting motions may inflame the tendons on the thumb side of the wrist.
  • Trigger Points and Muscle Tension: Tight or knotted muscles in the forearm can refer pain to the wrist, reducing its functionality.
  • Nerve Compression: Swelling or repetitive movements can compress nerves in the wrist or forearm, leading to persistent pain and weakness.
  • Poor Ergonomics: Extended periods of improper wrist positioning during activities like typing or tool use can cause strain and discomfort over time.
  • Overuse Injuries: Continuous use of the wrist without sufficient rest can lead to inflammation and pain in the soft tissues.

Determining the exact cause of your wrist pain is essential for choosing the most effective treatment and achieving lasting relief.
