Wrist Pain
What is Wrist Pain ?
Wrist pain is a common condition that affects the wrist joint, leading to discomfort, reduced mobility, and sometimes inflammation. It can occur due to various reasons, including injury, overuse, or underlying medical conditions such as arthritis in the wrist. At its worst, wrist pain can impact daily activities like writing, lifting, or typing, requiring effective and targeted wrist pain treatments.
Symptoms of
Wrist Pain
The symptoms of wrist pain vary depending on the cause but may include:
- Aching or throbbing pain in the wrist.
- Swelling or tenderness around the wrist joint.
- Stiffness or limited range of motion, making movement painful.
- Tingling, numbness, or a burning sensation in the wrist and hand.
- Weakness or instability in the wrist, making it difficult to grip or carry objects.
Types of
Wrist Pain
Understanding the types of wrist pain helps guide the appropriate wrist pain treatments for lasting relief. Wrist pain can be classified based on its cause and the structures involved. Common types include:
- Tendonitis or Overuse Injuries
Tendonitis occurs due to inflammation of the tendons caused by repetitive motions, leading to pain, stiffness, and discomfort, especially during movement.
- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs due to compression of the median nerve, leading to tingling, numbness, and pain in the wrist and hand. It can worsen over time, affecting grip strength and hand function.
- Sprains or Fractures
Sprains and fractures result from trauma or accidents, causing acute wrist pain, swelling, and limited mobility. Recovery time varies depending on the severity of the injury.
- Gout or Pseudogout
Gout and pseudogout are forms of acute inflammation caused by crystal deposits in the wrist joint. These conditions lead to sudden and severe pain, swelling, and redness, often affecting mobility and daily activities.

Our Approach
At our neuro acupuncture clinic and integrative clinic, we focus on holistic and natural methods to address the root causes of wrist pain. Our acupuncture for wrist pain treatments and acupuncture for arthritis in the wrist offer an alternative to conventional pain management, targeting inflammation and promoting healing.
Neuro acupuncture targets the nervous system to reduce inflammation, restore nerve function, and alleviate chronic wrist pain caused by arthritis or nerve compression. This treatment enhances brain-body communication, promoting long-term pain relief and improved wrist mobility.
Electro acupuncture uses mild electrical stimulation through acupuncture needles to enhance circulation, block pain signals, and accelerate tissue healing. It is particularly effective for wrist arthritis, tendonitis, and carpal tunnel syndrome by reducing inflammation and improving nerve function.
Cupping therapy creates negative pressure on the skin, increasing blood flow, reducing muscle tension, and promoting faster recovery from wrist pain. This technique helps relieve stiffness and inflammation, making it beneficial for tendonitis, arthritis, and repetitive strain injuries.
