Restore Function and Ease Discomfort
Wrist and hand pain can significantly impact your ability to perform everyday tasks, from typing and writing to lifting and gripping. At Sunset Chiropractic in South Tampa, we offer SoftWave therapy — a non-invasive, effective treatment designed to relieve pain and promote healing in wrist and hand injuries. Whether you suffer from chronic conditions or acute injuries, SoftWave therapy can help restore strength, flexibility, and function.
What is SoftWave Therapy for Wrist and Hand Pain?
SoftWave therapy utilizes low-intensity shockwaves to activate your body’s natural healing processes. By delivering focused acoustic waves to injured tissues in the wrist and hand, this treatment enhances blood flow, reduces inflammation, and stimulates tissue regeneration. It is a safe, drug-free alternative to surgery or medications, allowing for faster recovery with minimal discomfort.
Understanding Common Causes of Wrist and Hand Pain
Wrist and hand pain can stem from various causes, including:
– Carpal tunnel syndrome
– Tendonitis (De Quervain’s tenosynovitis, flexor/extensor tendonitis)
– Arthritis (osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis)
– Repetitive strain injuries (RSIs)
– Ganglion cysts
– Sprains and fractures
These conditions often result from repetitive movements, overuse, injury, or inflammatory diseases. If untreated, they can lead to reduced mobility, weakness, and chronic pain.
