Hand Wrist & Elbow

Effective pain management, injury rehab, fitness and nutrition at no cost to you

Conditions

This condition arises from the compression of the median nerve in the wrist's carpal tunnel. It causes numbness, tingling, and pain in the hand and fingers, especially the thumb, index, and middle fingers. Repetitive activities or conditions like arthritis can contribute to its development.

Tennis elbow results from overuse of forearm and elbow muscles and tendons, leading to inflammation and pain on the outer side of the elbow. Activities involving repetitive gripping or wrist extension strain these tendons, causing discomfort even in non-tennis players.

This condition affects the tendons on the thumb side of the wrist, causing pain, swelling, and difficulty moving the thumb and wrist. It often occurs due to repetitive gripping, pinching, or twisting motions, leading to irritation and thickening of the tendon sheath.

Causes

Knee pain often stems from osteoarthritis, where joint cartilage wears down over time, causing stiffness, swelling, and discomfort, especially after activity or rest.

Ankle pain results from sprains, where ligaments stretch or tear due to twisting motions during activities or on uneven surfaces, leading to pain, swelling, and difficulty bearing weight.

Both knee (patellar tendonitis) and ankle (Achilles tendonitis) pain can result from tendon inflammation due to overuse or repetitive stress, causing pain, stiffness, and swelling around the affected tendons.

Traumatic injuries like ligament tears (e.g., ACL tears in the knee) or fractures in the ankle from falls or impacts cause immediate pain, swelling, instability, and reduced joint movement, often requiring immobilization and rehabilitation or surgery.
