Common Causes of Wrist Pain For Patients In Atlanta

Being able to detect and diagnose the cause of wrist pain early on helps patients avoid more chronic conditions and other painful symptoms over time.
Common Wrist Injuries Treated With Chiropractic Care
Wrist Sprains and Strains
Wrist injuries that lead to sprains or strains are caused by sudden accidents where the patient has tried to use their hands to absorb the impact, whether it’s falling or gripping the steering wheel at the time of a collision.
Most wrist sprains and strains are easily treated with a combination of stabilization, relaxation, and heat therapy.
Overuse and Gradual Stress
When your wrist is exposed to consistent stress that grows over time, such as by typing on a keyboard, your wrist’s muscles are forced in a set position that allows for inflammation and compression.
Arthritis
Both osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis are common influencers of wrist pain and injuries.
