Of the many causes of wrist pain, here we will discuss some of the more common causes and treatment options.
What causes wrist pain?
Wrist pain can be due to a recent injury like a fall or even an overuse injury like typing with an improper form over a long period of time. These injuries cause misalignment in the small bones of the wrist that make up the carpal tunnel. When these bones are misaligned it causes pressure on joints and nearby nerves causing pain and numbness. This is often also called carpal tunnel syndrome.
What if I feel pain in both wrists?
If you feel equal symptoms in both wrists it is most likely coming from the only place where both of those nerve groups meet, the neck. Pinched nerves in your neck can refer pain all the way down to your finger tips creating pain, numbness, and swelling.
Do I need surgery?
In most cases patients do not need surgery. Most wrist pain symptoms can be treated with gentle specific chiropractic adjustments and therapy.
