FAQ
How do I relieve my hand and wrist pain while waiting for my appointment?
Whenever there is swelling, you first have to do ice therapy because this helps reduce inflammation by decreasing blood flow to the injured area.
If swelling is already managed, you can then do heat therapy to increase blood flow and promote regeneration.
The use of alternating hot and cold therapy is also recommended for rehabilitation after strenuous exercise regimes.
Is my hand and wrist pain serious?
If the pain is persistent and interfering with your daily activities, it could be serious. Swelling and deformity are other signs to look out for.
If you experience pain after resting and icing your injured area, you are advised to immediately consult an orthopaedic specialist.
Delaying consultation may result in a more serious injury.
Do I need surgery for my hand and wrist pain?
At Spire Hand Centre, we focus first on non-surgical and minimally invasive treatments for hand and wrist injuries. This includes activity modification, physical therapy, and pain medications.
Can hand and wrist pain be a symptom of an underlying medical condition?
Yes, hand and wrist pain can be a symptom of various conditions such as diabetes, thyroid disorders or autoimmune diseases. A healthcare professional can help determine the cause.
How long does it take for my hand and wrist to heal after treatment?
Healing depends largely on your overall health, body type, and lifestyle. With proper care, rest, and therapy, your hand can heal after several weeks from your procedure.
