Wrist and Hand Injuries

People spend every minute of every day using their hands and wrists in some form of another, whether in school, at work, at home, playing sports, or simply watching television. Some people believe that the hands and wrists could be the most frequently used parts of the human body. With so much demand on these muscles, the potential for wrist injuries and hand injuries become more common. With so much demand, Watkins Health becomes witness to many people with such injuries requiring treatments through the course of a year, finding such help in our Toronto rehabilitation centre that offers so many advantages above many others. Some of the injuries you might experience in the hands and wrists could include wrist bursitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, repetitive strain injuries, fractured scaphoid, metacarpal fracture, sprained thumb, and many more injuries. Bruises can be the result of a slip and fall, strain from excessive unorthodox motion, or a possible minor injury during a sports activity. These are caused by tendons moving improperly in the joints, resulting in inflammation and swelling from repeated trauma. Although most of these injuries may be minor for a Toronto rehabilitation centre to handle, Watkins Health still takes great care in diagnosing and repairing such damage with proper treatments and applications.

Other injuries that can cause wrist injuries and hand injuries include carpal tunnel syndrome and repetitive strain injuries, requiring different types of physical therapy and physiotherapy along with other possible treatments to relieve the pain from the injury. Sometimes, the injury happens due to improper motion in the affected area, and it is a simple treatment or fix by using minor application of braces and other medicines. In order for Watkins Health to make this type of assessment, visiting our Toronto rehabilitation centre means we can diagnose the problem accordingly and provide the right type of treatment without any guess work involved. For other more severe injuries, Watkins Health may have to deal with possible fractures and broken bones as a diagnosis of the wrist injury or the hand injury. With such more severe diagnoses, our Toronto rehab experts may need to assess the damage as a result of direct contact, sports injury or deliberate acts of violence that result in such severe damage to the wrist and hands. Once assessed, you can receive the right type of treatment at our Toronto rehabilitation facility, and get on your way to completely recovering and retrieving back all normal functions in your hands.
