Treatments

Thermoplastic splinting

Thermoplastic splinting

Thermoplastic splinting

 Using a plastic material which softens when heated and hardens when cooled, tailor made splints can be made for your hand or wrist to improve symptoms of conditions like arthritis and tendinitis, but also to treat acute injuries like fractures and tendon or ligament tears. By keeping the joints still and supported it can help to allow tissues to heal, but also to rest and decrease pain. 

Exercise prescription

Thermoplastic splinting

Thermoplastic splinting

 As with most injuries or conditions related to our joints, exercise is important. When it comes to the wrist and hand, doing the right kind of exercise is especially important. Exercise programs will be focused on your individual needs. Whether this is to be able to open a jar, or get back to playing tennis, the optimal bespoke exercise program will be made for you. 

Manual therapy

Thermoplastic splinting

Manual therapy

 Hands on skills can be extremely helpful in reducing pain related to your hand or wrist condition. Massage can help reduce pain and muscle spasm, and modalities like joint mobilisations are safe and effective treatments to increase joint range of motion. 

Taping

Advice and education

Manual therapy

 Like splinting, the use of tape can be helpful to offload tendons, muscles, and joints. This can help to reduce pain and provide some support without completely immobilising your joint. 

Acupuncture

Advice and education

Advice and education

 Another adjunct to rehabilitation, the use of fine needles in acupuncture can help to reduce pain in hand and wrist problems. A temporary measure for pain, it can be useful for conditions like hand and wrist arthritis to lower pain levels without medication. 

Advice and education

Advice and education

Advice and education

 One of the most important aspects of treating the hand and wrist is the right advice and education. This might look like changing how we use our hands for daily tasks like cooking and cleaning, the use of adaptive devices like electric tin openers, and how to avoid aggravating pain through methods like pacing.

Blog: Dorsal wrist pain: Problems with press ups?

Dorsal wrist pain refers to pain you might feel on the back (dorsal means back, like a dorsal fin on the back of a shark) of your wrist during weight bearing positions such as during a press up or when pushing up from a chair.
