Treatment of Wrist Pain at Dignity Health

Treatment strategies for wrist pain may focus on proper body mechanics for your work setting (ergonomics), medications, bone health, or surgery. Your Dignity Health doctor may first recommend conservative therapies such as wrist braces, over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medications, and rest, ice, compression, and elevation (RICE). Surgery may provide lasting relief from wrist pain caused by carpal tunnel syndrome and may stabilize the bones in cases of fractures due to traumatic injury.

It’s important to treat wrist pain promptly to ease symptoms and prevent permanent nerve damage. At Dignity Health, we are dedicated to creating solutions designed to ease your pain and increase mobility.
