Wrist / Hand Pain

Wrist pain is a common condition that can affect people of all ages and can be caused by a variety of factors. The wrist and hand are complex structures that consist of many small bones, muscles, and ligaments. Any problems in these structures can cause pain and discomfort.

One common cause of wrist pain is carpal tunnel syndrome, which occurs when the median nerve in the wrist is compressed or squeezed.
