Conditions
Hand & wrist pain
You use your hands all day — at work, during sports, and in daily activities. Complaints in your hand or wrist therefore have a direct impact on your life. At Fysio Willemspark in Amsterdam, we offer specialized treatment so you can function pain-free again.
Do you recognize this?
Stiff fingers, especially in the morning after waking up
Pain when gripping, squeezing, or turning
Loss of strength in the hand — dropping things
Tingling or numbness in fingers
A finger that locks and then suddenly snaps free (trigger finger)
Pain in the wrist during movement or loading
Possible causes
Hand complaints can have various causes, from nerve entrapment to wear. Careful diagnostics is essential.
Carpal tunnel syndrome
The median nerve becomes trapped in the carpal tunnel of the wrist. This causes tingling, numbness, and loss of strength in the thumb, index, and middle finger, especially at night.
De Quervain's (tendonitis)
Inflammation of the tendon sheaths on the thumb side of the wrist. It causes sharp pain when gripping, turning, or moving the thumb. Common in new parents.
Trigger finger
The tendon sheath of a finger becomes thickened, preventing the tendon from gliding smoothly. The finger locks in a bent position and then snaps free with a click.
Osteoarthritis in hand and fingers
Wear of the cartilage in the hand and finger joints. This causes stiffness, swelling, and pain, especially at the start of movement. More common at older ages.
Ganglion cyst
A fluid-filled swelling near a joint or tendon sheath, usually on the back of the hand or wrist. It can put pressure on surrounding structures and cause pain.
Overuse
Repeated fine motor movements at work or hobbies can overload the muscles, tendons, and joints of the hand. This leads to pain, fatigue, and reduced function.
