About
Wrist pain can range from a dull, persistent ache to sharp, debilitating discomfort that interferes with everyday tasks.
Whether caused by overuse, injury, or an underlying condition, wrist pain can make simple activities—typing, cooking, lifting, or even sleeping—feel nearly impossible. At Global Clinic, our multidisciplinary team in Niles, Illinois offers personalized, effective care to help you find lasting relief and get back to doing what you love.
WHAT CAUSES Wrist Pain?
Wrist pain can stem from a variety of conditions, making proper diagnosis essential before treatment begins.
Some of the most common causes include:
- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome – Compression of the median nerve causes tingling, numbness, and weakness in the hand and wrist, especially during repetitive tasks or at night.
- Tendinitis – Inflammation of the wrist tendons, often from repetitive motion, results in pain and swelling along the joint.
- Sprains and Strains – Ligament injuries from falls or sudden twisting movements can cause acute pain and instability.
- Arthritis – Both osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis can cause chronic joint pain, stiffness, and swelling in the wrist.
- Ganglion Cysts – Fluid-filled lumps that develop along the tendons or joints of the wrist, sometimes causing pressure-related discomfort.
- De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis – Inflammation of the tendons on the thumb side of the wrist, causing pain with gripping or pinching motions.
