Hand and Wrist Pain
Hand and wrist pain is a frequent issue that can interfere with daily tasks like typing, gripping objects, or cooking. It is often the result of repetitive strain injuries, such as carpal tunnel syndrome or tendonitis, or conditions like arthritis. Acute injuries from falls or direct impacts can also lead to fractures, sprains, or ligament damage. Symptoms can vary from mild tingling or numbness to severe pain and stiffness, limiting hand function. Identifying the underlying cause is crucial for developing an effective treatment plan.
Common Symptoms of Hand and Wrist Pain
Recognizing these common symptoms of hand and wrist pain is crucial for accurate diagnosis and treatment:
- Dull Ache: A persistent, deep ache within the hand or wrist that worsens with use.
- Sharp or Shooting Pain: Sudden, acute pain often indicative of injury or nerve compression.
- Stiffness: Reduced range of motion, making it difficult to grip or rotate the wrist.
- Swelling or Bruising: Visible inflammation, tenderness, or discoloration around the wrist or hand joints.
- Numbness or Tingling: A “pins and needles” sensation often felt in the fingers or hand.
- Weakness: Reduced strength in the wrist or fingers that makes gripping or lifting difficult.
Common Hand and Wrist Pain Conditions
Multiple conditions can result in hand and wrist pain. Here are some of the most common:
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Compression of the median nerve in the wrist causes pain, numbness, and tingling in the fingers or hand.
Tendonitis
Overuse or repetitive motions can cause inflammation of the tendons, resulting in pain and reduced flexibility.
Trigger Finger
A condition where a finger becomes stuck in a bent position due to inflammation of the tendon sheath.
De Quervain's Tenosynovitis
Inflammation of tendons at the base of the thumb can cause pain during hand movements.
Osteoarthritis
Degeneration of cartilage due to osteoarthritis often leads to pain, stiffness, and swelling in the hand or wrist joints.
Rheumatoid Arthritis
An autoimmune condition where the immune system attacks healthy joint tissue, causing pain and swelling.
Fractures
Hand or wrist fractures from falls or high-impact trauma can cause severe pain.
Comprehensive Spine Center of Dallas: Our 2-Month Regenerative Medicine Program
At Comprehensive Spine Center of Dallas, we offer a unique 2-month regenerative medicine program to alleviate hand and wrist pain. Our comprehensive approach leverages the body’s natural healing processes to repair damaged tissues and provide lasting relief.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy
PRP therapy uses healing components from your blood to accelerate tissue repair. The platelet-rich solution promotes regeneration of tendons, ligaments, and cartilage.
Stem Cell Therapy
Stem cells extracted and processed from your body are injected into the injured area to promote the regeneration of connective tissues.
Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation
Our program includes targeted exercises that strengthen the hand and wrist, improve range of motion, and promote recovery.
Type 2 Collagen Supplements
Type 2 collagen is essential for cartilage health. Our specialists may recommend supplements to reduce inflammation and encourage cartilage repair.
Medications
Medications can complement regenerative therapy by managing pain and inflammation:
- Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs): Ibuprofen or naproxen can reduce pain and inflammation.
- Corticosteroids: Prescription corticosteroids can help control significant inflammation in the short term.
When to See a Doctor
It’s crucial to consult a healthcare provider if hand or wrist pain:
- Persists for several days without improvement.
- Intensifies or becomes unbearable.
- Follows an accident or injury.
- Is accompanied by swelling, bruising, or redness.
- Causes weakness, numbness, or tingling in the fingers or hand.
- Makes it challenging to grip, lift, or use your hand.
