Do not let hand pain take away your happiness—we can help!

The Silent Cost of Hand Pain

Hand pain may sound like a minor issue, but it can have a significant impact on life. For instance, it might interfere with your ability to work, reduce your independence, and affect your emotional well-being. It is hard to imagine being unable to write, cook, or even play with your child because hand pain takes away that happiness. Rutherford Physiotherapy Clinic in Edmonton is here to help people regain those moments with targeted treatments that restore mobility, confidence, and joy.

The Root Causes Of Hand Pain

Hand pain usually results from repetitive action, improper posture, or other health conditions. It could be a strain from typing at the desk, gripping tools, or even overusing a smartphone. We understand how those actions cause discomfort, and our team approaches each case holistically to identify the root cause. We ensure the treatment is comprehensive and effective.

Common Causes of Hand Pain

Hand pain can arise from various conditions that impact the structure and function of the joints, bones, muscles, and connective tissues. Some of the common causes we treat include:

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Arthritis
Tendonitis
De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis
Trigger Finger
Fractures
Sprains and Strains

Ganglion Cysts
Dupuytren’s Contracture
Raynaud’s Phenomenon
Osteoarthritis
Rheumatoid Arthritis
Nerve Injuries
Overuse Injuries

Is It More Than Just a Twinge?

Many people who experience hand pain dismiss it as a temporary condition that will resolve on its own. However, early signs, such as stiffness, tingling, numbness, or reduced grip strength, can indicate a more significant problem. Ignoring these symptoms can eventually lead to long-term complications. At Rutherford Physiotherapy Clinic, we encourage early intervention to prevent chronic issues and help patients recover faster.

Beyond Band-Aid Solutions

Temporary fixes like painkillers or braces might alleviate your pain, but they are not a cure for the problem. Rutherford is the home of lasting relief in physiotherapy. Our evidence-based techniques address the root cause and enable you to enjoy sustainable results.

Specific Treatments We Use For Effective Results

Our treatments are tailored to bring about fast and effective relief:

Manual Therapy: Includes mobilizations and manipulations to reduce pain and improve movement.
Electrotherapy: Uses electrical signals to help decrease pain and stimulate muscle function.
Ultrasound Therapy: Promotes tissue healing and is particularly effective for soft tissue injuries.
Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization: This will help improve your hand and wrist function by stimulating the natural movement patterns in your body.
Soft Tissue Release: It targets tight muscles and connective tissues to alleviate pain.
Strengthening Exercises: This helps build resilience in hand and wrist muscles, thus preventing future injuries.
Laser Therapy: Utilizes specific wavelengths of light to interact with tissue and help accelerate the healing process. It can be effective in reducing pain, inflammation, and edema.
Acupuncture: Involves the insertion of needles into specific points on the body to reduce pain and improve function.
Myofascial Release: A manual therapy technique used to treat pain by relaxing contracted muscles, improving blood and lymphatic circulation, and stimulating the stretch reflex in muscles.
Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES): Sends small electrical pulses to injured or weakened muscles to restore or improve their function.
Biofeedback: A technique that teaches control over muscle tension, pain response, and body processes through real-time displays of biofeedback data from the body.
