Restoring Your Elbow, Wrist, and Hand Health at ActiveCARE Physio
At ActiveCARE Physio, our goal is to help you overcome limitations and regain the freedom to engage in your daily activities with ease. Our physiotherapists specialize in effectively managing elbow, wrist, and hand conditions through an evidence-based, patient-centered approach.
Understanding the Root Causes
Backed by research, our therapists are up-to-date on the most common causes of elbow, wrist, and hand issues that can stem from various underlying factors, including:
- Overuse and Repetitive Strain: Conditions like lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow), medial epicondylitis (golfer’s elbow), carpal tunnel syndrome, and tendinopathies can develop from repetitive motions or overuse, leading to inflammation and discomfort.
- Arthritic Conditions: Degenerative joint diseases, such as osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis, can cause pain, stiffness, and swelling in the elbow, wrist, and hand joints, affecting mobility and function.
- Injuries and Trauma: Sprains, strains, or fractures resulting from sudden injuries or trauma can destabilize these areas, leading to instability, discomfort, and potential long-term consequences if not properly treated.
Recognizing the Signs
The specific symptoms can vary depending on the underlying condition, but common signs to watch for include:
- Persistent aching, throbbing, or sharp pain
- Stiffness or reduced range of motion
- Weakness or difficulty gripping objects
- Swelling, warmth, or redness around the joint(s)
- Numbness, tingling, or altered sensations
