Wrist Pain Treatment in Sturgis
Your wrist is one of the hardest-working joints in your body. Made up of eight small carpal bones, along with a complex network of tendons, ligaments, nerves, and muscles, the wrist enables the fine movements we rely on every single day — gripping, rotating, bending, and more. When something goes wrong with any of these interconnected structures, even simple tasks like picking up a coffee mug can become painful and difficult. At Key City Chiropractic & Acupuncture, Dr. Jerrid Goebel specializes in diagnosing and treating wrist pain with safe, noninvasive chiropractic techniques.
Common Types of Wrist Pain
Wrist pain can stem from a wide variety of causes, and identifying the right source is essential to effective treatment. Some of the most common types of wrist pain seen at our Sturgis office include:
- Repetitive motion syndrome: Swelling from overuse that presses on nerves, causing pain and numbness
- Wrist tendonitis: Microscopic tearing and inflammation of the tendons, typically from overuse
- Wrist bursitis: Inflammation of the fluid-filled sacs around the joints, causing redness, tenderness, and swelling
- Osteoarthritis: Wear-and-tear arthritis that can affect the wrist joint with age
- De Quervain’s disease: Swelling and inflammation of the tendons on the thumb side of the wrist, often accompanied by weakness and a grating sensation
- Ganglion cysts: Fluid-filled cysts that develop in the soft tissue, usually on the back of the wrist, which can cause pain and discomfort
- Carpal tunnel syndrome: Compression of the median nerve in the wrist, leading to pain, tingling, and weakness in the hand
How Chiropractic Care Treats Wrist Pain
At Key City Chiropractic & Acupuncture, Dr. Goebel takes a comprehensive approach to wrist pain by examining not just the wrist itself but also surrounding structures that may be contributing to your symptoms. The wrist, hand, forearm, and even the neck are all interconnected, and addressing the full picture leads to better, longer-lasting results. Treatment may include joint manipulations to relieve nerve pressure, reduce swelling, and restore mobility, as well as splinting recommendations, icing protocols, and guided rest for overuse injuries.
Dr. Goebel will also provide personalized strengthening exercises and stretches to support your recovery at home, along with ergonomic guidance to help prevent future injury at work or during physical activity. In cases that require additional care, he can refer you to an orthopedist or surgical specialist as needed. Chiropractic care for wrist pain is drug-free, non-invasive, and focused on getting you back to full function as efficiently as possible.
