Hand Pain
Understanding Hand Pain
Hand pain can affect every aspect of your daily life, from gripping objects to typing or cooking. It may arise from injuries, repetitive movements, or underlying conditions affecting the muscles, tendons, nerves, or joints of the hand. At ActiveCare Physiotherapy & Rehab, we provide effective, tailored treatments to help you regain mobility and live pain-free.
Causes of Hand Pain
Hand pain can have a variety of causes, including:
- Arthritis (e.g., osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis) affecting the joints
- Carpal tunnel syndrome, involving compression of the median nerve
- Tendonitis, often from overuse or repetitive strain
- Sprains, strains, or fractures from trauma or injury
- Trigger finger, where a finger gets stuck in a bent position due to tendon inflammation
- Nerve injuries causing tingling, numbness, or shooting pain
- Soft tissue injuries, including ligament tears or muscle damage
Symptoms of Hand Pain
Depending on the cause, symptoms of hand pain can include:
- Aching, sharp, or burning pain in the hand or fingers
- Stiffness or reduced mobility in the joints
- Swelling, redness, or inflammation in the hand
- Tingling or numbness, especially in conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome
- Weakness, making it difficult to grip or hold objects
