Hand/Wrist Pain

Common Causes of Hand and Wrist Pain

Because we use our hands and wrists for nearly everything, these joints are vulnerable to both sudden injuries and chronic conditions.

Some of the most common causes of hand and wrist pain we treat include:

• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome – Compression of the median nerve in the wrist.
• Arthritis – Joint inflammation that causes stiffness, swelling, and pain.
• Tendonitis – Irritation of tendons from repetitive use, often affecting the wrist.
• Sprains and strains – Ligament or muscle injuries from accidents or overuse.
• Repetitive motion injuries – Pain caused by work-related tasks such as typing, lifting, or assembly line activities.
• Sports injuries – Fractures, sprains, or tendon damage from impact or overuse.

Symptoms can range from dull, nagging discomfort to sharp pain, tingling, or loss of grip strength.

Non-surgical Treatments for Long-lasting Relief

At our St Petersburg pain management clinic, we provide safe, non-surgical treatments that address the root cause of hand and wrist pain.

• Laser Therapy: Uses targeted light energy to stimulate healing at the cellular level. This treatment reduces inflammation, improves circulation, and supports the repair of damaged tissues.

For patients with chronic, advanced, or degenerative conditions, regenerative medicine offers a natural and effective solution.

• Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy: This therapy begins with a small sample of your blood, which is spun in a centrifuge to separate and concentrate the platelets. These platelets, rich in growth factors, are then injected into the affected area of the hand or wrist. The result is stimulation of tissue repair, reduction of inflammation, and long-term pain relief.
• Human Acellular Tissue (HCT) Therapy: Human acellular tissue, derived from the Wharton’s jelly of donated umbilical cords, contains powerful regenerative compounds that stimulate new tissue growth, reduce inflammation, and strengthens connective tissue for support and recovery.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

One of the most common causes of wrist and hand pain is carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). This condition occurs when the median nerve, which runs from the forearm into the palm, becomes compressed within the carpal tunnel of the wrist.

Some of the most common symptoms of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome include:

• Numbness or tingling in the thumb, index, and middle fingers
• Hand weakness or dropping objects frequently
• Burning or aching pain that may extend up the arm
• Worsening symptoms at night or with repetitive use

By focusing on relieving nerve compression, improving circulation, and supporting tissue repair, our treatments help patients reduce symptoms and restore strength in their hands and wrists.
