Wrist and Hand Injury
Targeted diagnosis, 1-on-1 manual therapy, and active rehabilitation at Hills Physiotherapy.
Wrist and hand injuries, often resulting from falls, accidents, or repetitive motions, manifest with symptoms such as pain, swelling, and reduced range of motion. Common conditions include fractures, sprains, and carpal tunnel syndrome. Emergency signs like severe pain, deformity, or inability to move fingers warrant immediate medical attention. Diagnosing wrist and hand injuries involves physical examination and, if necessary, imaging studies such as X-rays. Treatment approaches range from rest, splinting, and physiotherapy to manage pain and promote healing. In some cases, surgical intervention may be required for severe fractures or ligament injuries. Early recognition of symptoms and timely medical evaluation are crucial for effective management and rehabilitation of wrist and hand injuries.
