Understanding Wrist Pain

Wrist pain can significantly affect your daily life — from typing and writing to sports, lifting, and hobbies. It may develop suddenly from injuries or gradually due to overuse. Early assessment and physiotherapy are essential for recovery and preventing long-term issues.

Why Wrist Pain Matters

• Impacts daily tasks, work, hobbies, and sports
• Can arise from acute injuries or repetitive strain
• Leads to stiffness, weakness, and reduced function

Anatomy of the Wrist & Hand

Bones & Joints
The wrist consists of eight carpal bones arranged in two rows, forming the radiocarpal and midcarpal joints.

Ligaments & Tendons
The triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) stabilizes the DRUJ.

Carpal Tunnel
Compression of the median nerve in the carpal tunnel leads to carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), causing tingling, numbness, and weakness in the hand.
