Hand & Wrist Pain Treatment in Los Angeles

Clinic Located Brentwood

Hand and wrist pain can be disruptive, making it difficult to do every day tasks like type, grip objects, and even driving. For athletes and active adults, it is a common condition often caused by repetitive strain, injury, nerve compression, or joint inflammation, and it can significantly affect hobbies and sports performance. Common conditions include carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, tenosynovitis, wrist sprains and strains, arthritis, and trigger finger. Fortunately, many cases improve with conservative, non-invasive treatment.

If you experience ongoing hand or wrist pain or have recently suffered an injury, it’s important to consult a healthcare professional who can properly evaluate the cause and guide you toward effective treatment.

At his Brentwood practice, Dr. Sheps offers a range of non-invasive therapies designed to relieve hand and wrist pain for Los Angeles patients, reduce inflammation, restore mobility, and support long-term recovery.

What is Hand Pain?

Hand pain refers to discomfort, soreness, or aching in any part of the hand, including the fingers, palm, or wrist. It can result from injury, overuse, nerve compression, arthritis, or underlying medical conditions. The pain may be sharp, dull, throbbing, or accompanied by swelling, stiffness, or numbness.

Every body is different, so injuries and conditions can affect people in unique ways. After evaluating your condition, Dr. Sheps will recommend a personalized treatment plan. As a certified McKenzie practitioner, he also provides techniques you can do on your own to support your recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some frequently asked questions about hand and wrist pain.

Hand and wrist pain can result from overuse, repetitive strain, poor ergonomics, nerve compression (like carpal tunnel), joint dysfunction, or inflammation. Sports injuries, typing, and manual labor are common contributors.

You should consider seeing a chiropractor for wrist pain when the discomfort persists, worsens, or begins to interfere with daily activities. While minor soreness from overuse may improve with rest, ongoing or recurring pain can signal an underlying issue that may benefit from professional evaluation.

Key signs it’s time to see a chiropractor:

  • Pain lasting more than a few days despite rest or home care
  • Difficulty gripping objects or weakness in your hand or wrist
  • Tingling, numbness, or burning sensations, especially in the fingers (common with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome)
  • Reduced range of motion or stiffness in the wrist
  • Pain during repetitive activities like typing, sports, or lifting

Chiropractic treatment focuses on restoring proper joint motion, reducing nerve irritation, and improving alignment in the wrist, hand, elbow, and even the neck. Techniques may include gentle adjustments, soft tissue therapy, and corrective exercises.

The number of visits depends on the severity and cause of your condition. Some patients experience relief within a few visits, while chronic or repetitive strain issues may require a longer corrective care plan.
