Commonly, hand or wrist injuries occur due to simple daily activities that stress out and put a strain on a joint. It’s also common for an injury, like a fracture, to affect a bone in the hand or wrist. Some of the common injuries and issues of the hand and wrist are:

• Carpal tunnel syndrome – Pressure on the nerve in the wrist which gives feeling and movement to parts of the hand

• Arthritis of the hands or wrists – Quite common in older adults, and can make it difficult to do everyday activities

• Ulnar tunnel syndrome of the wrist – Causes numbness and tingling in the little finger and on the outside of the ring finger

• Trigger finger – This limits finger movement

Sprained thumbs
Hand fractures

Such injuries and others can be treated by a specialist of the musculoskeletal system!

For hand or wrist injury or pain, go see an orthopedist, especially if your issue has been long-lasting. This kind of professional is a specialist in injuries, pain, and other issues of the musculoskeletal system which includes the hands and wrists. Both acute and chronic issues can be treated by an orthopedist.

You might need to see an orthopedist if you’ve been struggling with an issue for a while now or if you have chronic pain which is pain that’s lasted over three months. If you’re suffering from an arm or wrist movement problem, weakness, or another issue that accompanies your pain, the orthopedist can help with that too. Or if you have an injury of the hand or wrist (that isn’t life-threatening), you should go see an orthopedist, as one can address the issue and even help you avoid further injury in the future.

This depends on what kind of injury you have and if your issue is chronic. An orthopedist is a capable surgeon, so if your issue requires surgery, the orthopedist can provide it, but an orthopedist wants to avoid surgery and provides other options. In most cases, less invasive, minimally invasive, or even noninvasive treatments will work, like exercise, physical therapy, or medication.
