Chiropractic Treatment for Wrist and Hand Pain

Whether you slipped on the ice and landed on your hand, your wrist started aching after a weekend of yard work, things flared up as you started golfing more in the spring, or you over-did it with a workout - our team at Minnesota Movement Sports Chiropractic in Excelsior is here to help. We specialize in assessing and treating wrist pain for athletes, active adults, and weekend warriors across the Lake Minnetonka area.

Common Wrist & Hand Conditions We Treat

The wrist and hand are complex structures made up of 27 bones and over 15 muscle groups. Pain in this area can stem from many causes—including sports injuries, overuse, or repetitive strain. Our job is to find the root cause of your pain so we can restore strength, mobility, and function.

Some of the most common conditions we see include:

  • Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

  • De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis (thumb tendon irritation)

  • Osteoarthritis or Rheumatoid Arthritis

  • FOOSH Injury (Fall On Outstretched Hand)

  • Bursitis

  • Skier’s Thumb / Gamekeeper’s Thumb

  • Wrist Tendonitis

  • TFCC Injury (Triangular Fibrocartilage Complex strain)

  • Ganglion Cysts

Our Approach to Wrist Pain Treatment

We combine evidence-based chiropractic care with sports rehabilitation techniques to address pain, inflammation, and functional limitations. Depending on your needs, your personalized plan may include:

  • Chiropractic Adjustments to the wrist, elbow, and upper extremity joints

  • Manual Muscle Therapy to reduce tension and improve mobility

  • Active Release Technique (ART®) for soft tissue restrictions

  • Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) for fascial adhesions

  • Mobility & Range-of-Motion Exercises to restore normal function

  • Corrective Exercise & Rehabilitation Programs for lasting results

  • Kinesiology Taping with RockTape® for support and pain relief during activity

  • Referrals for Imaging or Physical Therapy when needed

Related Symptoms & Differential Diagnoses

Because wrist pain can be linked to other conditions, we also assess for:

  • Nerve entrapments in the elbow or neck

  • Referred pain from shoulder or cervical spine dysfunction

  • Ligament sprains and joint instability

  • Overuse injuries from typing, lifting, or sports like golf, tennis, or pickleball

By considering these possibilities, we ensure your care plan targets the actual cause, not just the symptoms.

Patient Success Story:

"I developed wrist pain from long hours at the computer. Combine that with averaging 100 miles a week cycling and playing softball, I was in PAIN! The team at Minnesota Movement identified that part of the problem was actually coming from my shoulder posture and weakness of the scapula. After a few weeks of treatment and exercises, my pain was gone, and I could work and play without discomfort!"
— Laura S., Wayzata
