Hand, Wrist & Elbow Pain

Osteopathy for Hand, Wrist & Elbow Pain

Pain in the hands, wrists, or elbows can affect everyday tasks like gripping, lifting, typing, or carrying objects. These areas rely on precise movement and healthy joint mechanics, and even small imbalances can create irritation, tension, or ongoing discomfort.

Osteopathy offers a practical way to assess and treat these issues by looking at the entire chain of movement from the neck and shoulder down to the hand. This helps identify the true source of the pain rather than only treating where the symptoms appear.

Our practitioners use techniques such as soft tissue work, stretching, and gentle joint mobilisation to ease tension, increase circulation, improve mobility, and restore natural function. Treatment is always tailored to the specific presentation rather than using a generic approach.

Injury
