Wrist Stiffness While Typing? Numbness in Your Fingers? Thumb Pain When Gripping or Texting? We Can Help.
At Metro Wellness, we treat wrist, hand, and thumb pain caused by repetitive use, injuries, nerve compression, or screen-heavy lifestyles. Whether it’s carpal tunnel, a thumb strain, or overworked forearm muscles, we get to the root cause—not just cover up symptoms.
Our licensed team of chiropractors, physical therapists, and acupuncturists uses a whole-body, hands-on approach. We combine chiropractic adjustments, physical therapy, acupuncture, cupping, medical massage (by licensed PTs), muscle scraping (IASTM), and kinesiotaping to restore function, reduce pain, and help your hands move freely again—naturally and without surgery.
Top 9 Wrist & Hand Conditions We Treat
1. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Feels like: numbness, tingling, or weakness in the thumb, index, and middle fingers
Caused by: compression of the median nerve through the carpal tunnel (often from typing, mouse use, or repetitive work)
2. Wrist Tendinitis
Feels like: soreness or sharp pain on the top or bottom of the wrist, especially during motion
Caused by: overuse or repetitive strain, leading to inflamed tendons
3. De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis (Texter’s Thumb)
Feels like: sharp pain or swelling near the base of the thumb, worsened with texting or gripping
Caused by: inflammation in the tendons that control thumb movement
4. TFCC Injury (Triangular Fibrocartilage Complex)
Feels like: pain or clicking on the pinky side of the wrist, especially when twisting or bearing weight
Caused by: injury or wear-and-tear in the cartilage that stabilizes the wrist joint
5. Thumb Sprains & Strains
Feels like: sharp or throbbing pain near the base of the thumb after a fall, twist, or overuse
Caused by: overstretched ligaments or small tendon injuries
6. Arthritis in the Wrist or Fingers
Feels like: stiffness, aching, or joint swelling—especially in the morning or after repetitive use
Caused by: wear-and-tear (osteoarthritis) or autoimmune inflammation (rheumatoid arthritis)
7. Trigger Finger (Stenosing Tenosynovitis)
Feels like: catching or locking of a finger when trying to bend or straighten it
Caused by: thickening of the tendon sheath in the finger or thumb
8. Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI)
Feels like: soreness, tingling, or muscle fatigue in the wrist and hand
Caused by: long hours of typing, writing, lifting, or texting without adequate support or recovery
9. Nerve Entrapment or Referral Pain
Feels like: numbness, weakness, or burning that may start at the neck or elbow and travel into the hand
Caused by: nerve compression in the cervical spine or elbow (cubital or thoracic outlet syndromes)
