Elbow, Wrist, and Hand Pain

You might be surprised to learn that a chiropractor can help with elbow pain, wrist pain, and hand pain, but it’s true. Our specialty is the musculoskeletal system, which extends beyond the spinal column. In this guide from us at Lake Worth Chiropractic & Wellness, your chiropractor in Lake Worth, FL, we’ll discuss how elbow, wrist, and hand pain occur and how a chiropractor can help provide relief.

What Causes Wrist, Elbow, and Hand Pain?

How many times do you think you use your elbows, wrists, and hands throughout the day? Probably too many to count. You’ve been using them since you were born, though it was more of a reflex at that time rather than intentional use.

As these three body parts are in constant use, there is a large number of issues that can lead to pain. Overuse is common, especially if you have specific jobs, such as those that require typing. This isn’t, however, the only cause. Some others include:

  • Injuries, such as sports injuries or even bracing yourself during a car accident
  • Arthritis, which causes inflammation and stiffness in the joints
  • Pinched nerves in the elbow, neck, shoulder, or wrist, which cause tingling, numbness, and pain
  • Sprains and strains

These are just a few common issues, but the bottom line is that many activities can lead to pain. Even the act of preparing meals and cooking can cause issues with the elbows, wrists, and hands, if you do it for too long.

What Can a Chiropractor Do for My Pain?

Our chiropractor has several methods of treatment, depending on the root cause of your pain. For example, someone whose wrists are hurting due to constant chopping in the kitchen likely won’t have the same root cause as someone who was injured on the field. Therefore, they might need different chiropractic techniques.

That’s why the first step of treatment is to determine where the source of the pain lies. From there, our chiropractor will develop a customized treatment plan.

Often, this will include adjustments to the extremities to restore alignment. It might also include adjustments to the spine, as extremity pain sometimes stems from misalignment in the spinal column.

Corrective exercises are also utilized to help relieve pain and tension while strengthening the target area.
