The impact of wrist and elbow pain can often be underestimated but both can drastically impact our ability to perform everyday tasks comfortably. At South Jersey Physical Therapy, we see people develop this pain because of overuse, as a result of a sports injury, or as a symptom of an underlying health condition. Repetitive strain, such as typing, lifting, or sports activities, can lead to tendonitis – a condition where tendons become inflamed from repeated stress.
Carpal tunnel syndrome is another common cause, resulting from pressure on the median nerve in the wrist, leading to pain that may radiate up to the elbow. For athletes or manual laborers, conditions like tennis elbow develop due to repetitive stress on the elbow joint, causing inflammation of the tendons.
If you’re dealing with wrist or elbow pain, you know how much it can interfere with even the simplest daily tasks. It can leave you struggling with basic activities like gripping utensils while eating or doing more enjoyable things, such as playing pickleball with friends. For some, even holding a knife or using a cutting board in the kitchen becomes a challenge, not to mention handling pots and pans.
Wrist and hand issues can be particularly debilitating because they affect nearly every aspect of daily living. You rely on your arms for tasks like brushing your teeth, doing your hair, getting dressed, or washing up – things we often take for granted until pain limits our ability to do them.
Perhaps you’ve already tried treatments like acupuncture, deep massage therapy, laser therapy, or ultrasound modalities. While these might provide short-term relief, they often only address the symptoms at a superficial level, acting as a temporary Band-Aid rather than solving the underlying issue.
