Your guide to overcoming wrist pain

 Wrist pain can be mild, moderate, or severe, depending on the extent of the injury. Carpal tunnel syndrome can be caused by persistent pain in the wrist.  

There is no definitive way to prevent carpal tunnel syndrome. But if you reduce the pressure and strain on your arms and wrists as much as possible, you can keep it from getting worse.  

In this blog, we provide a guide to overcoming wrist pain!  

1. Wrist pain physiotherapy  

Physiotherapy is the first step and treatment option for overcoming any kind of body related pain or ache. 

The physical therapist may apply specific treatments and exercises for wrist injuries and offer you special wrist pain physiotherapy plan to overcome the pain. If you need surgery, your physical therapist will also assist in rehabilitation after the operation. You may also benefit from an ergonomic assessment indicating factors contributing to wrist pain.  

2. Switch Hands while working 

Try not to repeat the same hand and wrist movements. For example, if you always have work with your right hand, do it with your left hand. Or combine your actions as much as you can to give your muscles a break.  

3. Exercises and stretches  

Stretching and conditioning your hands and wrists is another one of the best ways to avoid repetitive strain, especially for those who work in high-risk occupations; here are a few helpful stretches to get you started:  

1. Wall stretch: extend your arm along a wall, parallel to the ground and with your palm facing the wall; attempt to open your chest so that your shoulders and arm are perpendicular, then extend the fingers and palm away from the wall as much as possible; hold for 30-60 seconds
