Wrist Pain

Your wrist pain can range from mild to severe, resulting from a number of conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, arthritis, sprains, and tendonitis. Repetitive strain injuries are also very common if you perform repetitive movements with your hands. If you’re suffering from any of these conditions, or others that cause wrist pain, common symptoms include pain, stiffness, weakness, and swelling.

Physical therapy and chiropractic adjustments offers a gentle and non-invasive treatment option to address the root cause and alleviate your symptoms.
