Ranked as a practical clinical reference — what's most common varies with age and activity level. Here's how these conditions are typically approached:
| Condition | What it is |
|---|---|
| Carpal tunnel syndrome | Pinched median nerve at the wrist |
| Wrist sprain | Stretched or torn wrist ligaments |
| Distal radius fracture | Broken forearm bone at the wrist |
| Scaphoid fracture | Broken small wrist bone — easy to miss |
| De Quervain's tenosynovitis | Irritated thumb-side tendon sheath |
| Ganglion cyst | Fluid-filled lump over the joint |
| Wrist arthritis | Cartilage wear in the wrist |
| TFCC tear | Pinky-side cartilage-complex tear |
| Wrist tendinitis / tenosynovitis | Irritated wrist tendons |
| Kienböck disease | Lost blood supply to a wrist bone |
“Non-surgical” options are always individualized after an evaluation. Conditions marked surgical or urgent receive an honest, prompt referral — that's how we practice.
What commonly causes wrist pain?
- Carpal tunnel syndrome — numbness and tingling in the fingers
- Tendinitis and De Quervain's tenosynovitis
- Wrist sprains from falls and sport
- Arthritis at the wrist and base of the thumb
- Overuse from racquet sports, golf, and the gym
How is wrist pain evaluated?
Your visit begins with an in-office evaluation, with imaging — ultrasound or fluoroscopy — when it's needed, so we can see the area clearly. Occasionally we'll arrange additional imaging elsewhere. From there, Derek builds a personalized, honest plan — and walks you through the options for your situation.
Which non-surgical treatments help wrist pain?
- Image-guided injections — precise delivery to small wrist structures
- PRP — to support tendon recovery where appropriate
- Focused shockwave therapy — for stubborn tendinopathy
- Splinting & activity guidance — so irritated structures get a real chance to settle
When should you seek care?
Numbness or tingling that wakes you at night is a classic carpal tunnel sign, and a fall onto an outstretched hand deserves prompt evaluation — scaphoid fractures are notoriously easy to miss on the day of injury. For general reference, see MedlinePlus's wrist injuries and disorders guide.
Frequently asked questions
We evaluate all wrist pain and treat tendon and joint conditions — tendinitis, De Quervain's tenosynovitis, and arthritis-related pain — non-surgically in Bonita Springs, FL. Fractures and conditions needing hand surgery get a prompt, honest referral.
An evaluation confirms whether symptoms are truly carpal tunnel. Milder cases are often managed non-surgically; severe or progressive numbness and weakness are referred promptly for surgical consideration — nerve compression shouldn't wait.
After a fall onto an outstretched hand, with visible deformity, or with new numbness or weakness — get evaluated promptly. Scaphoid fractures in particular can look like a simple sprain at first.
