We’re Here To Help You Overcome Your Hand Pain In Houston
Your hands are at the center of nearly everything you do, which makes hand pain more than just an inconvenience — it’s a daily barrier. From pouring your morning coffee to typing at work, cooking dinner or enjoying hobbies like gardening or playing an instrument, even the smallest task can become a painful challenge.
At Case Physical Therapy, we’ve seen firsthand how addressing pain early can prevent these domino effects.
With the right therapy plan, many patients not only regain comfort and mobility but also rebuild confidence in using their hands without hesitation or fear of flare-ups.
Hand Pain Causes
What Are The Common Issues We Treat?
Hand pain can develop from a variety of issues, including the following:
- Repetitive strain injuries — Constant motions like typing, lifting or gripping tools can inflame muscles and tendons, leading to persistent discomfort.
- Carpal tunnel syndrome — Compression of the median nerve (a major nerve running through the wrist/hand) often causes tingling, numbness and pain that radiates from the wrist into the first three fingers.
- Arthritis — Joint inflammation can trigger stiffness, swelling and aching pain, making even simple tasks challenging.
- Non-arthritis conditions — Not every case of pain in hands and fingers is arthritis. Nerve compression or tendon injuries can also create ongoing pain.
- Overuse or posture-related stress – Poor ergonomics or repetitive movements without adequate rest can cause strain in both the hand and wrist.
By identifying the root cause early, our team can build a therapy plan that relieves pain, restores mobility and helps prevent future injuries.
Where Is Carpal Tunnel Pain?
Carpal tunnel pain usually starts in the wrist and can radiate into the hand, thumb, index and middle fingers.
Many people describe it as tingling, numbness or burning that gets worse when typing, gripping or performing repetitive tasks.
Over time, the discomfort can travel up the forearm and make everyday activities — like holding a cup, writing or even buttoning a shirt — difficult.
Identifying these symptoms early and starting physical therapy for carpal tunnel pain can help relieve pressure on the nerve, restore strength and prevent the condition from getting worse.
