What is Hand and Wrist Pain?
The hands and wrists are made up of small bones, tendons, ligaments, and nerves working in close coordination. When something in this network is irritated or injured, it can lead to pain, limited motion, or unusual sensations like tingling or weakness.
In many cases, symptoms are tied to inflammation, mechanical stress, or compressed nerves—but they don't always point to a single issue. That's why accurate evaluation is essential to determine what's really happening and how to move forward with care that works.
Common Hand and Wrist Conditions We Treat
Our providers specialize in diagnosing and treating a wide range of upper extremity issues, including:
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Tendonitis and tenosynovitis
Arthritis (osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis)
Wrist sprains, strains, and fractures

Radial nerve compression
Overuse and repetitive stress injuries

Each case begins with a focused evaluation so we can build a targeted recovery plan tailored to your symptoms and diagnosis. Whether you're dealing with recent wrist injuries, chronic overuse, or extreme pain, our specialists can help. Many patients with chronic hand pain benefit from early intervention and integrated care.
Symptoms We Address with Hand and Wrist Pain Treatment
Hand and wrist conditions can cause a wide range of symptoms, which may worsen with movement or appear at rest. You may benefit from an evaluation if you're experiencing:
Numbness, tingling, or “pins and needles” in the fingers
Pain when gripping, lifting, or typing
Swelling or inflammation around the wrist or knuckles
Weak grip strength or frequent object dropping
Burning sensations in the palm or fingers
Pain that radiates into the forearm or elbow
Stiffness or reduced mobility
Coldness or color changes in the fingers
Clicking, popping, or locking during movement
These symptoms can result from nerve irritation, inflammation, joint misalignment, or soft tissue strain, and often respond well to conservative care.

Hand and Wrist FAQs
What doctor should I see for wrist pain?
At Core Medical Center, you can be evaluated by a physical medicine physician, chiropractor, or rehab specialist—and receive care without needing multiple referrals.
Can wrist pain be nerve-related?
Yes. Compression of the median, ulnar, or radial nerves can cause symptoms like numbness, burning, or tingling—especially in carpal tunnel or cubital tunnel syndrome.
What is PRP therapy used for in the hand and wrist?
PRP (platelet-rich plasma) can help heal damaged tendons or ligaments. It’s especially useful for tendonitis or injuries that haven’t responded to conventional therapy.
When should I be concerned about wrist pain?
If pain is ongoing, affects your grip, causes numbness, or follows trauma, seek medical care. Early treatment can help avoid nerve damage or permanent joint issues.
Is this covered under insurance?
If your insurance is medicare and commercial, we are in-network. They will cover it at whatever rate they are contracted and if its MVA is typically on lien or med pay or pip or both, work comp is covered by the carrier.
