Wrist Pain Treatment Newcastle

Wrist pain can significantly affect your ability to work, exercise, and carry out everyday tasks such as typing, lifting, gripping, driving, or using your phone. Whether your symptoms started suddenly after an injury or have developed gradually over time, ongoing wrist pain can be frustrating and restrictive.

 

At Gosforth Physio & Wellness, our expert physiotherapists specialise in the accurate diagnosis and effective treatment of all types of wrist pain. Using hands-on physiotherapy, targeted rehabilitation, and evidence-based techniques, we help relieve pain, restore movement, and prevent future problems.

Wrist Pain Physiotherapy

Our physiotherapists in Newcastle use a tailored combination of manual therapy, taping, mobilisation, acupuncture, dry needling, and strengthening exercises to reduce pain, settle inflammation, and improve wrist function.

We focus on identifying the underlying cause of your wrist pain rather than simply treating symptoms. Once a full assessment has been completed and your diagnosis explained, we will discuss all suitable treatment options and begin your physiotherapy treatment during your first session. Early assessment and treatment are important to support faster recovery and reduce the risk of persistent or recurring wrist pain.

Common Types of Wrist Pain

Wrist Sprains and Strains
These often occur after a fall, sudden impact, or excessive loading of the wrist. Symptoms may include pain, swelling, stiffness, and reduced strength or movement.

 

Repetitive Strain Injuries (RSI)
Repetitive activities such as typing, manual work, or prolonged phone use can overload the tendons and soft tissues of the wrist, leading to gradual onset pain and discomfort.

 

Tendonitis and Tendinopathy
Inflammation or degeneration of the wrist tendons can cause pain during movement, gripping, or weight-bearing through the hand.

 

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Compression of the median nerve at the wrist can lead to pain, tingling, numbness, or weakness in the hand and fingers.

 

Arthritis
Degeneration or inflammatory changes within the wrist joint can cause stiffness, pain, swelling, and reduced mobility, particularly with daily activities.
