Understanding Hand Pain and Its Impact
The hand is a complex structure comprising numerous bones, joints, and soft tissues. When pain arises, it can be more than an inconvenience – it can be life-altering. Hand pain can stem from various conditions, including arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, tendinitis, fractures, or repetitive strain injuries. It may limit your ability to perform day-to-day activities, causing discomfort and decreasing your quality of life. Fortunately, our specialized hand pain physiotherapy in Edmonton is designed to tackle these challenges head-on, promoting recovery and preventing future issues.
Wrist Pain Physiotherapy at Vertex
Our wrists are complex and intricate structures that are susceptible to various conditions due to their constant use and mobility. Any pain in the wrist can be debilitating, impacting everything from your work to your hobbies. Some of the common conditions include
- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
- Wrist tendonitis
- Sprains.
These could be a result of repetitive strain, injuries, improper ergonomics or underlying health conditions such as arthritis.
After a comprehensive assessment of your condition, including understanding its impact on your daily life, the cause of the pain, and your overall well-being, and your overall health, we devise a personalized treatment plan. Our wrist pain physiotherapy in Edmonton incorporates,
