Hand and Wrist Pain Treatment at Advance Physical Therapy

Hand and wrist pain can make even the smallest tasks feel impossible. Writing, typing, cooking, or gripping objects can become frustrating and painful when these joints are stiff, sore, or injured. For some, discomfort develops slowly from overuse or repetitive motions, while others experience sudden pain after injury or surgery. No matter the cause, living with hand and wrist pain impacts independence and quality of life. At Advance Physical Therapy, we specialize in hand and wrist pain treatment that relieves discomfort, restores mobility, and helps patients return to the activities that matter most.

Manual Therapy for Joint and Soft-Tissue Function

Manual therapy for hand and wrist pain is a highly effective way to improve joint movement, decrease stiffness, and relieve tension in the surrounding tissues. Using precise, hands-on techniques, our therapists reduce discomfort and restore functional motion. Manual therapy also improves circulation, which supports healing and reduces inflammation, making daily tasks easier and less painful.

IASTM for Scar Tissue and Adhesions

Scar tissue and adhesions often form after repetitive strain, injury, or surgery, limiting flexibility in the hand and wrist. Instrument assisted soft-tissue mobilization (IASTM) is a specialized treatment that breaks down these restrictions and restores natural tissue mobility. Patients who struggle with tightness, stiffness, or limited range of motion benefit from IASTM as it helps improve flexibility and decrease pain over time.

Blood Flow Restriction Training for Strength

Weakness in the muscles of the forearm, hand, and wrist often leads to pain and functional limitations. Blood flow restriction therapy (BFR) allows patients to build strength with low-intensity exercise, simulating the effects of heavier training without overloading sensitive joints. For patients recovering from wrist fractures, tendon injuries, or post-surgical procedures, BFR supports faster healing, improves endurance, and protects the joints from further stress.

Dry Needling for Painful Trigger Points

Muscle tension and trigger points in the forearm and hand can aggravate wrist pain and limit grip strength. Dry needling for hand and wrist pain targets these tight areas, releasing tension, improving blood flow, and reducing pain. When combined with therapeutic exercises, dry needling helps restore normal movement patterns and supports long-term recovery.
