Hand and wrist injuries are common and can range from mild sprains and strains to more severe fractures or dislocations. These injuries can occur due to accidents, overuse, repetitive movements or underlying medical conditions.
The hand and wrist are complex structures made up of bones, muscles, ligaments and tendons, making them susceptible to various types of injuries. Symptoms typically include pain, swelling, bruising and limited mobility. Treatment varies depending on the severity of the injury but may involve rest, ice, splints, physical therapy or even surgery in more serious cases. Proper ergonomics and protective measures can help prevent such injuries.
Hand and wrist injuries can significantly impact your overall health by limiting your ability to perform essential daily tasks, such as writing, lifting or even simple activities like eating or dressing. These injuries can cause persistent pain, swelling and stiffness, leading to reduced mobility and strength in the affected area.
Falls, sports injuries or direct impacts can cause fractures, dislocations or ligament tears in the hand and wrist.
Overuse from activities like typing, playing musical instruments or repetitive lifting can lead to conditions like tendinitis or carpal tunnel syndrome.
Lifting heavy objects incorrectly or engaging in activities without proper support can strain the muscles and ligaments, resulting in injuries.
