There is no one-size-fits-all method for treating hand and wrist pain; the treatment will depend on the nature, cause, and severity of the injury. For example, rehabbing a hand that suffered an acute injury will differ from rehabbing a hand affected by arthritis.
This is why our treatment programs always begin with a thorough assessment, which includes an interview to determine patient history, as well as a physical examination of the affected hand.
We also assess for other symptoms that commonly accompany hand and wrist pain, such as loss of range of motion, numbness, and a tingling or “pins and needles” sensation in the hands or wrist (paresthesia).
Only upon gathering sufficient information about the injury will we make decisions about the therapy methods to employ.
