Wrist Joint Sprains – Restoring Stability and Function

What is it?

A wrist joint sprain involves injury to the ligaments that support the wrist, often resulting from falls, sports injuries, or repetitive motions.​

How to fix it?

Treatment focuses on reducing pain and swelling, followed by restoring movement and strength. Severe sprains may require immobilisation or surgical intervention.​

How can a physiotherapist help?

Our physiotherapists at Darwin Health Group:

• Assess the severity of the sprain and develop an appropriate treatment plan.​

• Apply manual therapy techniques to reduce pain and improve mobility.​

• Design a tailored exercise program to strengthen wrist muscles and ligaments.​

• Educate on activity modifications and ergonomics to prevent re-injury.​

With proper physiotherapy, most individuals can return to their normal activities without long-term issues.​
