Let us talk about wrist pain today. The wrist connects your palms with your forearms. A wrist that is free of injuries helps you to use your hands for various everyday tasks. Your wrist also provides the transit for the nerves, blood vessels, and tendons to enter your palms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wrist pain is a common problem that can make your life difficult. It can be due to injuries or health issues with your wrist bones, joints, ligaments, or nerves. One can often manage at home with simple exercises or other measures, but sometimes it does require consultation with your physiotherapist or doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>Structure & Function of the Wrist<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your wrist is formed by the union of eight carpal bones, which include the scaphoid, lunate, trapezium, trapezoid, capitate, hamate, triquetrum, and pisiform. The eight carpal bones form two rows. The first row approximates the radius and the ulna (the bones of the forearm). The second row approximates the five metacarpals of the palm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet, these eight carpal bones are arranged so beautifully that they allow movements of your wrist in multiple ways (side-to-side, front, and back). So, your wrist turns out to be both strong and flexible at the same time because of this complex arrangement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, this complex arrangement of carpal bones also gives enough space to the nerves and blood vessels supplying the hand to pass through safely via a tunnel-shaped structure called the carpal tunnel.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
