Wrist

Your wrists play a critical role in nearly every hand movement, providing stability, flexibility, and strength for daily activities. When wrist pain or injury develops, it can interfere with work, sports, and even simple tasks such as lifting, typing, or gripping objects.

Know When It’s Time to See a Wrist Doctor

If you believe your pain may be related to a wrist injury or condition or if you are experiencing any of the symptoms below, it is important to consult a wrist specialist:

• Clicking or instability in the wrist
• Numbness or tingling in the hand or fingers
• Pain that worsens with movement or activity
• Persistent wrist pain
• Swelling or stiffness
• Weak grip strength

You should also see a doctor if your skin becomes red, warm, increasingly sensitive, or swollen, as these may be signs of infection. Because the wrist is essential to hand function, pain often does not improve without proper diagnosis and treatment.
