Hand & Wrist Pain & Injury

HAND & WRIST PAIN AND INJURY TREATMENT IN LANARKSHIRE.

The hand and wrist are highly intricate, made up of numerous bones, ligaments, and tendons that work together to create a highly mobile and dexterous set of joints. This complexity makes injuries to the area more challenging to treat. Whether caused by trauma or overuse, hand and wrist injuries require careful attention due to their detailed anatomy.

​

Team MT are skilled at identifying the root cause of your pain and developing a personalised recovery plan to help you return to full health as quickly and effectively as possible.

​

HOW ARE HANDS & WRISTS STRUCTURED?

 

​The hand and wrist are made up of a complex arrangement of bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, and muscles that allow for a wide range of motion and dexterity. The wrist itself consists of eight small carpal bones that connect the forearm to the hand, while the hand is made up of the metacarpals and phalanges. Ligaments provide stability, while tendons enable movement by connecting muscles to bones. This intricate structure allows the hand and wrist to perform tasks ranging from fine motor skills to powerful gripping actions.​

​

WHAT ARE THE MOST COMMON CAUSES OF HAND & WRIST PAIN AND INJURIES?

 

Hand and wrist injuries are often caused by trauma, such as a ball striking an outstretched finger, landing on an extended arm, or punching injuries in combat sports.

​

Some of the most common injuries and causes of pain we treat in the hand and wrist include:

​

• Fractures of metacarpals, distal ulna, and radius

• Wrist joint sprains

• Dislocated or subluxed carpal bones

• Ruptures of the long flexor/extensor tendons

• Ligament damage or sprains in the hand and wrist joints

• Trigger finger

• TFCC (Triangular fibro-cartilage complex) injuries

• Carpal tunnel syndrome

• Tenosynovitis in the long tendons

​

Osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis can sometimes affect the joints in the hand and wrist, due to the high level of use these joints experience in both daily life and sports. Team MT are well-equipped to help you recover from these injuries with a tailored approach to get you back to your daily activities or sports as soon as possible.​
