Conditions That Commonly Cause Wrist Pain
Wrist pain is a common condition that can disrupt daily life, making even simple tasks feel overwhelming. Often caused by repetitive strain, injury, or underlying conditions, wrist pain may persist and significantly impact your ability to work, exercise or enjoy hobbies. Common conditions include:
- Repetitive strain injuries (RSIs): Repeated motions such as typing, writing, or assembly line work can strain the muscles and tendons, leading to pain and stiffness.
- Carpal tunnel syndrome: Compression of the median nerve in the wrist from overuse or poor wrist posture can cause pain, tingling, and numbness.
- Tendinitis: Inflammation of the tendons in the wrist, often due to overuse or repetitive motion, can lead to discomfort and restricted movement.
- Joint misalignment: Misalignment in the wrist joints caused by improper posture, repetitive movements, or injury can create chronic pain and limited range of motion.
- Sprains or minor injuries: Twisting, overextending, or overloading the wrist can lead to ligament damage and pain.
- De Quervain’s tenosynovitis: Inflammation of the tendons on the thumb side of the wrist, often caused by repetitive gripping or twisting motions.
- Trigger points and muscle tension: Tight or knotted muscles in the forearm can refer pain to the wrist, limiting its functionality.
- Nerve compression: Impingement of nerves in the wrist or forearm, often due to swelling or repetitive motions, can cause persistent pain and weakness.
- Poor ergonomics: Extended periods of poor wrist positioning during activities like typing or using tools can lead to strain and discomfort over time.
- Overuse injuries: Prolonged use of the wrist without adequate rest or recovery can cause pain and inflammation in the soft tissues.

What Our Patients are Saying
Chiropractic Therapeutic Exercise Programs
We believe in patient-centred, results-driven care. Your recovery begins with a detailed consultation and physical assessment to understand your wrist-pain history, identify affected structures (joint, tendons, ligaments, nerves, forearm musculature), and evaluate your mobility, strength and hand usage. This allows us to create a customised treatment plan aligned with your condition and goals.
Our approach may include:
● Gentle chiropractic adjustments to reduce joint misalignment and nerve or tendon stress in the wrist and forearm
● Soft-tissue therapy to release muscle/forearm tension, scar tissue or trigger-points affecting the wrist complex
