Understand the pain.
Hand pain can show up as aching joints, burning, tingling, or stiffness in the fingers. You might notice trouble gripping, opening jars, or holding small objects. Repetitive tasks like typing, texting, or manual work can overuse the small muscles and joints. Arthritis, past injuries, or nerve irritation can also play a role. Early attention can keep simple soreness from limiting everyday tasks.
Common causes of pain.
Hand pain may be caused by tendon irritation, joint inflammation, or nerve problems such as carpal tunnel syndrome. Repetitive gripping or pinching can strain the tendons and small joints. Arthritis can lead to swelling, stiffness, and changes in finger alignment. Past fractures or sprains may leave lingering sensitivity or weakness. A detailed hand and arm exam helps uncover what is driving your symptoms.
Diagnosing the elbow pain.
Diagnosing hand pain begins with a review of your symptoms, work tasks, and hobbies. Your therapist will assess finger motion, grip and pinch strength, and fine motor control. Special tests can check nerve function and pinpoint which joints or tendons are irritated. If there are concerns about fractures or more serious issues, your doctor may order X-rays or other tests. With this information, a focused treatment plan can be created to support your daily function.
