OVERVIEW
Your wrist does more work than just about any joint you've got, and you never really notice until it quits on you. Then pouring a pot of coffee turns into a production. Pushing yourself up out of a chair, turning a doorknob, all of it becomes something you have to stop and think about first.
What's behind it varies a lot. Catch yourself in a fall and you can crack a bone or sprain the ligaments. Grip and type all day for long enough and the tendons running through there get irritated. Arthritis wears the joint surfaces down slowly over the years. And if there's numbness or tingling riding along with the pain, that usually means a nerve is getting squeezed rather than a tendon being the trouble.
Those are genuinely different problems wanting different treatment, which is exactly why figuring out what you've actually got comes first. The good news is most wrist problems get better without surgery, and plenty that feel serious turn out to be pretty manageable. At Modern Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine of Surprise, AZ, we sort out what's going on and build the plan from there.

EXAM & IMAGING
We test your wrist's motion and strength, check exactly where it's tender, ask how it started and what makes it worse, and use imaging when we need to confirm a fracture or ligament injury.

We calm what's irritated, often with a custom splint, then rebuild motion and strength so the wrist handles your real demands again.

It’s been a year post-op from a cervical disc replacement, and I’m moving like nothing ever happened thanks to Mark and his team! The special part about this place is they customize your rehab/therapy approach to fit your hobbies or sports. I’m not only healed and happy, I’m better than I was 10 years ago thanks to the strengthening exercises I was able to continue at home!

What Are You Experiencing?
You don’t need to know the exact name of what’s going on and most people don’t. What matters is how it feels to you. Use the short form to tell us, even if it’s just “my back hurts when I wake up” or “it feels like a sharp pinch.” Once we see it, we’ll give you a call to talk things over and figure out some next steps together.
LOW HIGH
SEVERE PAIN
If the pain is so bad you can’t think straight, please stop here and call 911 or go to the hospital. Getting safe is the first step. When you’re ready afterward, we’ll be here to talk about longer-term help.
MODERATE PAIN / DISCOMFORT
This kind of pain might not knock you down, but it makes life harder than it should be. Maybe it’s a stabbing pain when you move a certain way, or maybe it’s a dull ache that just won’t quit. Write it down as best you can. That’s all we need to get started.
MINOR PAINS & ACHES
Little things add up, too. A stiff neck, sore knees, or that nagging twinge you keep brushing off all matter. Share what you’ve been noticing, and we’ll help you keep it from becoming something bigger.

Answering Your Questions
How do I know if it's broken or just sprained?
Honestly, on your own it's tough to call, since both of them hurt and swell up. A break usually brings sharper pain and real trouble putting any weight through it, but imaging is the only way to know for sure. When you're not certain, get it checked.
Why is my wrist still stiff months after it healed?
Because a healed bone and a working wrist are two different things. Weeks sitting in a cast tighten up the tissue around the joint and let the muscles go weak, and that doesn't just reverse on its own. Therapy is what gets the motion back.
Should I wear a brace from the pharmacy?
It might take the edge off, though the fit and the angle matter more than people realize. A brace holding your wrist in the wrong spot kind of misses the whole point. We match the support to what you've actually got going on.
What if my fingers tingle too?
That usually points to a nerve getting compressed rather than a tendon or joint problem. Which fingers are involved tells us a lot about which nerve it is, and that needs a completely different approach than tendonitis.
Do I have to stop using my hand?
Probably not completely. Total rest quiets things down but leaves the wrist weak, so it flares right back when you return to normal. We'll tell you what to modify and what's fine to keep doing.
