Sprains and Strains

Sprains and strains to the hand or wrist occur when the ligaments that connect the wrist and hand bones are stretched too far. These injuries occur when an extreme amount of pressure is applied to the hand or wrist. Oftentimes, this pressure is applied during a rough fall or direct trauma.

Common symptoms of a sprain or strain include pain, swelling, bruising, weakness, loss of hand or wrist mobility, and tenderness or warmth around the injured area.

No appointment needed. Just walk-in.
