Hand & wrist Conditions
Hand & wrist Conditions
Made of dozens of small bones, our hands and wrists can easily get sore. The wrist alone has eight bones lined up, four on top, four below. All eight bones are connected by ligaments that keep the joints together while giving a wide range of motion for our hands. There are also many tendons that pass the wrist. These control the motion of our wrist, fingers, and thumb. Because each of those parts serves a purpose in movement, if even one area in the wrist gets inflamed or injured, you’re going to feel it.
Injuries or conditions affecting the hands can make tasks that were once simple “no-brainers” painful and difficult. Something as mundane as lifting a coffee cup or brushing your teeth can shoot pain through your arm. The pain may even cause you to change the way you do things, such as buttoning a shirt, tying a shoelace, and even signing your name.
Hand and Wrist are important for completing daily tasks. We do a lot of work with the help of our wrists and fingers. The wrist helps in the movement of our hands and the fingers help us to grip, pick, and move objects. Any ailment in the wrist or fingers will make it impossible to carry out our daily chores with perfection. We will not be able to complete the simplest tasks without sound wrist and fingers.
