Wrist and Hand
We frequently injure our hands and wrists because we use them for so many things, such as stopping us from falling! Occupational use can also cause injury, often because of repeated motions over time.

The wrists, hands and fingers are composed of many small bones which are held together by ligaments and surrounded by other soft tissues. Soft tissue injuries to the wrist and hand usually heal with rest. Ligaments can be damaged to the point that healing is incomplete and chronic pain can result. Fortunately this responds well to treatment.

Common problems that we see and their treatments follow:
