Are You Dealing With Elbow, Wrist, and Hand Pain?

Tennis Elbow

Also known as Lateral Epicondylitis, Tennis Elbow causes pain and tenderness on the outer part of the elbow. It’s often due to repetitive arm and wrist motions, not just from tennis, but from various activities that strain these areas.

Golfer’s Elbow

Golfer’s Elbow, or Medial Epicondylitis, affects the tendons on the inside of the elbow, causing pain and tenderness. This condition is not exclusive to golfers but can be caused by any repetitive wrist and forearm movements.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Carpal tunnel syndrome is marked by pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness in the hand. It’s caused by pressure on a nerve in the wrist, often from repetitive activities like typing

Osteoarthritis of the Hand and Wrist

Osteoarthritis (OA) is the gradual breakdown of cartilage in joints, leading to pain, swelling, and stiffness. OA can affect any joint, including those in the hands and wrist, making daily activities more challenging.

Wrist Fractures

A wrist fracture often happens after a fall onto an outstretched hand, commonly breaking the radius bone near the thumb. Treatment depends on the type of fracture and may require surgery to stabilize the bones.
