A wrist injury can have a significant impact on your ability to take part in your normal daily activities. Without treatment, a wrist injury can also cause complications that affect your hand and wrist’s function. At DrGio.Com Hand & Foot Chiropractor, our chiropractor Dr. John Giovanelli and his team can assess the underlying cause of your wrist injury and design a personalized, drug-free wrist pain treatment plan. Take a look at how we can help you with chiropractic care for a wrist injury in Peachtree City, GA.

Common Causes of Wrist Pain

Your treatment plan may depend on the underlying cause of your wrist pain. The most common causes of wrist pain in adults are:

  • Sprains and strains
  • Repetitive stress injuries
  • Arthritis, osteoarthritis, or rheumatoid arthritis
  • Carpal tunnel syndrome
  • Assault or abuse
  • Traumatic injuries
  • Degenerative bone or joint diseases
  • Work, sports, or auto injuries

Shockwave Therapy for Wrist Injury Recovery

Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive, non-surgical treatment method for wrist pain and wrist injuries. During this treatment, we use high-energy acoustic soundwaves to penetrate injured tissues and stimulate the body’s natural healing process. This increases blood flow, promotes the generation of new nerves and blood vessels, reduces pain and inflammation, and accelerates tissue healing and cell regeneration.  

Chiropractic Care for Wrist Health

Our tailored chiropractic therapies support the recovery and rehabilitation of your wrist injury. Our focus is on improving the strength, mobility, and flexibility of your wrist and providing you with the tools you need to get back to living your regular life, pain-free. 

Combining Therapies for Optimal Results

Dr. Giovanelli recommends combining chiropractic therapies for optimal results and faster healing. He may recommend combining chiropractic care, shockwave therapy, physical therapy, and lifestyle modification throughout your rehabilitation process and to prevent recurring or chronic wrist pain. 

Managing Pain and Restoring Mobility

The goal of chiropractic care for a wrist injury is to restore mobility and flexibility and offer drug-free pain management strategies. Chiropractic care and shockwave therapy will reduce pain and inflammation, and physical therapy will strengthen your muscles and tendons so you can begin using your wrist again.  

Long-Term Strategies for Wrist Wellness

In addition to the care you receive in our office, we will also provide personalized lifestyle modification counseling to help you prevent future wrist pain and wrist injuries. We may recommend that you make changes to your home and work routines to facilitate healing, strengthen your wrist, and avoid re-injury.
