Elbow, Wrist and Hand Pain
Personalized, hands-on therapy to help you restore function and get back to the activities that matter.
At San Tan Physical Therapy, experienced physical therapists provide one-on-one care for injuries and conditions involving the elbow, wrist, hand, and digits.
Care Designed Around Your Goals
Elbow, wrist, and hand pain can make work, recreation, household tasks, and everyday movement difficult. Our therapists work with you in a comfortable environment, using compassion, creativity, and advanced therapy techniques to help restore function.
Every program is individually designed and begins with an evaluation. Whether you are managing an injury, recovering after surgery, or dealing with a medical condition affecting the upper extremity, your plan is tailored to your needs and goals.
Your Upper-Extremity Therapy May Include
Your care plan may combine the services most appropriate for your condition, stage of healing, and functional goals.
Evaluation & Education
Pre- and post-operative evaluation, patient and family education, and written home programs to support your progress between visits.
Protection & Symptom Support
Custom and prefabricated splints, kinetic taping, edema control, wound care, scar management, and pain-management strategies when appropriate.
Movement & Strength
Manual therapy, desensitization, thermal and electrical modalities, and progressive strength and endurance training to help restore comfortable function.
Common Wrist & Hand Concerns
Our medical library includes education on a range of wrist and hand injuries and conditions. These examples illustrate how symptoms can arise from repetitive activity, trauma, or recovery after a fracture or procedure.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Compression of the median nerve can cause pain, tingling, or numbness in the thumb, index and middle fingers, and may affect grip strength and coordination.
De Quervain's Tenosynovitis
This condition involves inflamed thumb tendons and their surrounding sheaths. Pain is commonly felt at the base of the thumb and wrist during repetitive tasks.
Fracture Rehabilitation
Following a wrist, forearm, hand, or finger fracture, rehabilitation may help decrease pain and swelling while restoring range of motion, strength, and function.
Medial Epicondylitis
This condition causes pain and tenderness around the inner elbow, often from repetitive gripping or wrist movements, and may affect strength and daily activities.
Pain on the outer side of the elbow is covered on our Tennis Elbow page.
Focused on Meaningful Recovery
Depending on your needs, therapy may focus on improving range of motion, muscle strength and power, tolerance for prolonged activities, symptom self-care, and a safe return to the things you need and enjoy doing. Injury-prevention strategies can also be part of your program.
