Wrist & Hand Injury Relief
Wrist pain can result from various conditions, including injuries, repetitive strain, and degenerative disorders.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when the median nerve is compressed as it passes through the carpal tunnel in the wrist. This condition leads to symptoms such as:
- Pain, numbness, and tingling in the hand and fingers
- Weakness in the hand, making it difficult to grasp objects
- Symptoms that worsen with repetitive wrist movements
Wrist Sprains
Wrist sprains happen when the ligaments in the wrist are stretched or torn, often due to a sudden impact or fall. Symptoms of a wrist sprain include:
- Swelling and bruising around the wrist joint
- Pain with movement or pressure
- Limited range of motion
Wrist Tendinitis
Tendinitis refers to inflammation of the tendons in the wrist, often caused by repetitive movements or overuse. Symptoms include:
- Dull or sharp wrist pain
- Stiffness, especially in the morning
- Swelling and tenderness around the affected tendons
Ganglion Cysts
Ganglion cysts are fluid-filled lumps that develop near tendons or joints in the wrist. While they are usually harmless, they can cause:
- Pain or discomfort, especially when pressing on a nerve
- Visible lumps or swelling in the wrist
- Reduced range of motion in severe cases
De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis
De Quervain’s tenosynovitis is an inflammatory condition affecting the tendons on the thumb side of the wrist. Repetitive thumb movements often cause it and lead to:
- Pain and swelling near the base of the thumb
- Difficulty gripping or pinching objects
- Increased pain when moving the thumb and wrist
Wrist Arthritis
Arthritis in the wrist joint can result from wear and tear (osteoarthritis) or autoimmune conditions (rheumatoid arthritis). Symptoms include:
- Chronic pain and stiffness
- Swelling and tenderness in the wrist
- Reduced hand function and mobility
Treatment Approaches for Wrist Pain
Managing wrist pain often requires a multidisciplinary approach. Treatment options include:
Physical Therapy
Physical therapy involves targeted exercises and techniques to:
- Improve joint mobility
- Strengthen wrist and hand muscles
- Promote proper alignment and function
Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic adjustments and manipulations can help:
- Realign the wrist and hand joints
- Relieve pressure on nerves, reducing pain and inflammation
- Improve overall function and mobility
Acupuncture
Acupuncture is beneficial for wrist pain by:
- Stimulating specific points on the body to enhance circulation
- Reducing inflammation and promoting healing
- Alleviating pain and discomfort in the wrist, hand, and forearm
Massage Therapy
Massage therapy aids in wrist pain relief by:
- Relaxing tight muscles and reducing tension
- Increasing blood flow to the affected area
- Alleviating stiffness and improving flexibility
Comprehensive Recovery & Prevention
By integrating physical therapy, chiropractic care, acupuncture, and massage therapy, individuals experiencing wrist pain can benefit from a comprehensive treatment plan. Early intervention and consistent care can:
- Reduce pain and inflammation
- Restore wrist and hand function
- Prevent further injuries and complications
Consulting a healthcare professional is essential for persistent or severe wrist pain to determine the appropriate treatment approach and ensure optimal recovery.
MK Marsden and Peter Crosby I found my way to the Center for Spine Care + Mobility because I was looking for an integrated approach to treat injury-induced headaches. I used to go to an integrated physical therapy/chiropractic care center before I moved to New York from California, so I expected CSC+M to be a similar experience. Working with Dr. Schuman, Jinita, Denise, and Sandra and experiencing their targeted, attentive care is the reason why CSC+M surpassed all my expectations. My experience with CSC+M has not only helped eradicate my headaches but is helping me learn how to control and strengthen my body to correct bad habits and prevent further injuries. Not to mention the facilities are clean and comfortable and the entire staff is friendly and welcoming every time I come in. I would 100% recommend CSC+M to anyone looking for physical therapy or chiropractic work in general – why have just one form of treatment when you can have it all?!
Hi Dr. Anselmi, its been one week since my shoulder surgery and today I talked with my orthopedic surgeon. Everything went great, and a huge reason was all the work you guys did with me in preparation for the surgery. The improvements I saw after working with you, Dr Schumann and Dr Sunny were awesome and exceeded my expectations. Thank you very much.
My therapist in Hawaii referred me to Dr. Anselmi when I tore my quadricep muscle retrieving luggage from the overhead bin on an arriving flight (all my serious injuries happen in the least heroic circumstances).
Over the years, his team has put me back together after so many injuries. Last year I fell in the subway and within a few hours I saw Dr. Anselmi. He arranged for an MRI and created a treatment, with his team. It has been 8 or 9 months since my last visit and the only recurrence was when I stopped my exercises that my therapist (thanks Jinita) prescribed. I have been to every specialist imaginable but the number who DO NOT recommend surgeries comes down to just one: Dr. Anselmi. To date, I cannot imagine what might have become of me without him and his team.
Was referred to this place by a friend for my sciatica issues. Started in late June with an assessment by Dr.Chris Anselmi and have been working with him and Dr.Miller for PT. It’s been a little over 2 months and already feeling better. As with most of sports injuries, we need to do our part with exercises and stretches. I’m doing the same and hope to be fully up and running (literally). Their treatment is very organized with a chiropractic session, followed by PT and a massage. You don’t have to repeat your story with every treatment as the therapist is briefed in advance and they start working without bothering you. My experience has been good so far and I’d recommend this place to runners and people with sports injuries.
I cannot speak highly enough about CSC+M. Dr. Amsale & his staff of medical professionals has been amazing in helping me after a terrible foot injury. If you’re considering therapy or chiropractics in Manhattan look no further. Love it here!
This is a fantastic group of caring healthcare professionals. While I worked in NYC, I was a patient of Dr. Chris Anselmi for over 10 years! That says something. How many organizations are so good these days that their patrons would stick with them for so long. Dr. Anselmi is friendly, personable, knowledgeable and truly empathetic. Exactly the attributes one looks for in a doctor. I remember going there with back and neck pain in the range of 5 to 10 (on a 10 point scale) and leaving with a rating of around 1 or 2! That’s remarkable. If I still worked in the City I’d be going there even now. I highly recommend CSC+M without reservation.
