At Activa Clinics, we understand the importance of addressing wrist pain, whether it involves discomfort, stiffness, or difficulty gripping objects. Our dedicated team will identify the cause of your wrist issues and create a tailored solution to alleviate your symptoms.
Common Symptoms:
Wrist issues can present in various ways, and we are equipped to help with a range of symptoms, including:

Causes of Wrist Pain:
Numerous factors can contribute to wrist pain, whether stemming from injuries, long-term issues like arthritis, repetitive stress, or carpal tunnel syndrome. Common causes include:
- Repetitive Stress: Inflammation of soft tissues around the wrist due to prolonged repetitive movements.
- Sprains and Strains: Injuries resulting from sudden impacts, such as falling and bending the wrist backward upon impact.
- Arthritis: Osteoarthritis (OA) due to wear and tear over time, and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) causing the immune system to attack joints.
- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: Compression of the median nerve in the carpal tunnel, leading to pain and numbness.
Diagnosing Your Wrist Pain:
To determine the cause of your wrist pain and develop a personalized treatment plan, we initiate the process by discussing your symptoms and medical history. A thorough examination follows, including an assessment of repetitive activities in your daily life. Advanced imaging tools, such as MRI, x-ray, and CT scans, along with nerve conduction studies, aid in diagnosing wrist issues.
