Frequently Asked Questions About Treating Hand and Wrist Pain
Wrist and hand pain can be caused by a variety of conditions, such as carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, arthritis, fractures , or sports injuries. Repetitive motions or overuse are common in manual labor, sports, and daily activities, which can lead to pain and inflammation in these areas.
The most common symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome include pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness in the wrist and fingers. These symptoms are usually more pronounced at night or when performing repetitive movements, such as typing or using the mouse. If you experience these symptoms, it is advisable to see a physical therapist for proper diagnosis and treatment.
Recovery time depends on the severity of the injury or condition. For mild problems, such as tendonitis or a sprain, recovery can take a few weeks to a couple of months. More serious injuries, such as fractures, may require a longer recovery time. With the right treatment, we can speed up recovery and restore mobility and functionality to the wrist and hand.
Physical therapy is critical to reducing pain, improving mobility, and strengthening the muscles of the wrist and hand. Through personalized exercises, manual therapy, and the use of advanced technology such as shockwaves, we are able to treat conditions effectively, speeding up healing and preventing future injuries.
At Fisitania Physiotherapy, we use advanced technologies such as the Super Inductive System (SIS), radiofrequency and therapeutic laser. These techniques help reduce inflammation, speed up tissue regeneration, and improve blood circulation, facilitating faster and more effective recovery from wrist and hand injuries.
Physical therapy treatment for wrist and hand pain should not be painful. While some techniques may result in slight temporary discomfort, our goal is always to relieve pain and improve functionality gradually and without causing further discomfort. If at any time you feel pain during treatment, it is important to inform your physiotherapist to adjust the technique used.
It depends on the severity of the injury or condition. In many cases, physical therapists design a treatment plan that allows daily activities to be maintained without affecting recovery. However, it’s important to follow your physical therapist’s recommendations and avoid activities that can worsen the condition. With personalized physical therapy, we can guide you to safely perform activities while you recover.
