Living with Elbow, Wrist or Hand pain? Revolve Physiotherapy can help you

Do you find yourself having to get assistance with tasks that you could normally do on your own? If you are in search of upper extremity pain relief, you’re not alone. We understand that having upper extremity pain can rob you of your joy.

Common Causes Of Upper Extremity Pain

Do you know when the pain began and exactly how you injured yourself, or do it come on without warning? Many people don’t notice when they have injured themselves, they only notice the pain that comes after the injury!

Below are some of the common causes of hand, wrist, and elbow pain:

Elbow wrist hand pain

Tendinitis

Tendinitis is known as an “overuse injury,” because it develops over the time. It can occur when tendons become inflamed, resulting in pain and swelling, especially with movement of the affected area.

Bone Fracture

Fracture

Fractures in the forearm and wrist area are common injuries associated with falls, as the natural response is to try and catch yourself. During the healing phase, the wrist, fingers, and elbow become very stiff, and range of motion (ROM) and strength fade.

Elbow wrist hand pain

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS)

The carpal tunnel is a thin canal positioned beneath the palm of your hand on your wrist. Its job is to keep the median nerve and the tendons that allow you to bend your fingers.

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is caused by excessive pressure on the median nerve, which causes crowding and irritation of the carpal tunnel. Stiffness, numbness, or pain can radiate through your fingers, hands, wrists, or forearms as a result of this illness. We will treat your carpal tunnel (CTS) issues safely and comfortably at Revolve Physiotherapy so you can avoid surgery.

Nerve injuries

Nerve injuries

If you injured one of the nerves that run through your hand, forearm, elbow, or wrist, you may be experiencing numbness, tingling, or loss of temperature sensations. In severe cases, muscle function paralysis can occur. Swelling inhibits proper circulation, affecting the ability of the nerve to function properly.

Elbow wrist hand pain

Tennis elbow or Lateral Epicondylitis

Tennis elbow happens with repetitive tasks that often involve gripping and extending the wrist such as when holding a paintbrush, tennis racket or hammer. Severe tenderness will be present around the outside of your elbow and can cause pain with lifting objects, gripping objects, and twisting of the forearm.

Golfers elbow

Golfer’s elbow or Medial Epicondylitis

Golfer’s elbow causes discomfort on the inside of the elbow. In addition, overuse of the muscles that flex your wrist and fingers causes discomfort, which leads to this injury.

Elbow wrist hand pain

Sprain / Strain

Sprains and strains are very common in the hand, wrist, and elbow and can occur from a quick overstretching of the tissues. This overstretching can cause a tear, which then triggers swelling, causing pain and challenges in movement.
