Osteoarthritis of the Wrist Joint
Overview
Osteoarthritis of the wrist joint is a degenerative condition that causes pain, stiffness, and decreased mobility in the wrist. It occurs when the cartilage protecting the joints gradually wears away, leading to bone-on-bone contact. Thrive Rolfing, a trusted provider of alternative and natural medicine, offers effective treatments to alleviate wrist issues and improve overall health.
Causes of Osteoarthritis in the Wrist
Osteoarthritis in the wrist can be caused by various factors. One common cause is aging, as the cartilage naturally deteriorates over time. Repetitive stress injuries, such as those experienced by athletes or individuals with physically demanding jobs, can also contribute to the development of osteoarthritis. Other factors include joint injuries, genetic predisposition, obesity, and hormonal imbalances.
Symptoms
The symptoms of osteoarthritis of the wrist joint may vary from person to person. Common signs include:
- Wrist pain, especially during movement or activities
- Swelling and tenderness around the wrist
- Stiffness or reduced range of motion
- A grinding sensation (crepitus) when moving the wrist
- Weakness in the wrist or hand
