What is a wrist strain?

A wrist strain is a common injury involving the ligaments, muscles and tendons of the wrist. It is generally caused by repetitive movements or sudden trauma that put strain on the wrist, leading to inflammation and pain upon movement.

What are the symptoms of a wrist strain?

A wrist strain is a very common, yet painful, injury. It can occur from repetitive use, such as typing on the computer for hours at a time or from impactful injuries like sports-related traumas. The symptoms of this injury can range from mild to severe, but some of the more common indicators are pain in the wrist and forearm area, swelling, and difficulty using the wrist normally. Some people may also experience tenderness and bruising or hear cracking noises around the injured area.

What are the treatments for a wrist strain?

Treatment for a wrist strain can be as simple as proper rest, ice and light stretches. If this is not enough to improve the pain and discomfort associated with a wrist strain, chiropractic treatment may be a helpful next step. A chiropractor may use targeted adjustments to help reduce swelling and soreness in the wrist area. Physiotherapy is also useful; specific exercises are prescribed to enhance healing, improve range of motion and restore strength in the affected muscles and tendons. Massage therapy is another route of care that can help ease tension in the wrist muscles by applying pressure and movements to help aid in blood circulation while simultaneously reducing stiffness. With careful care and rehabilitation, a person with a wrist strain should expect to begin seeing improvements after several treatments.
