Chiropractors can help patients experiencing wrist pains associated with the following conditions:

​

• Sprains and strains.

• Inflammation of the tendons.

• Nerve entrapment's, such as carpal tunnel syndrome.

• De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis  – the pain associated with the repetitive movement of the thumb.

• Trigger finger – the reduced ability of the finger to assume a fully stretched position caused by the increased friction of the tendon as it slides through its guiding sleeve.

​

Initial chiropractic therapy may include:

​

• Applying cool packs to help reduce swelling due to inflammation.

• Resting the affected hand and wrist.

• Avoiding activities that may further worsen the symptoms.

• Immobilizing the wrist using a splint to avoid damage due to repeated bending and twisting.

Some patients who fail to improve with the initial therapy may also receive chiropractic manipulation and mobilization of the hands and wrist. Others may benefit from soft tissue mobilization techniques. Chiropractors may also advise them to do stretching, strengthening exercises, and even yoga to alleviate their wrist pain. Those who fail to respond to these conservative chiropractic care techniques may need to see a surgeon to improve their wrist condition.

​

According to the American Chiropractic Association, the majority of patients who see a chiropractor to manage their hand and wrist pain recover completely with low recurrence rate after treatment.
