Hand and Wrist Pain

Small joints. Big impact.

Hand and wrist pain affects nearly 1 in 5 adults, yet many never discover many never discover the true cause.

Pain in your hands or wrists might feel like a small problem..

.. but when it starts interfering with daily tasks like typing, driving, cooking, lifting, or even gripping a cup of coffee; it can take over your day.

Whether it’s sharp, shooting, stiff, weak, or just constantly uncomfortable, hand and wrist pain can have many hidden causes, and it’s not always where you feel it.

In many cases, the real problem starts higher up; like in the forearm, shoulder, or even the neck.

So, what's really causing your hand or wrist pain?

Common causes include:

• Repetitive strain injuries (typing, manual work)

• Carpal tunnel syndrome

• Tendon irritation or inflammation

• Nerve compression (often from the neck or shoulder)

• Joint instability or overuse

• Poor wrist mechanics linked to posture

So what can you do?

Short-term fixes like braces and splints, Ice, and stretches, might ease your symptoms, but if the underlying cause isn’t addressed, the pain and frustration keep coming back.

At The Backstory, we don’t chase symptoms, we look for the underlying cause.

We don’t just look at your hand or wrist in isolation.
We assess how your entire body is supporting (or overloading) your hands and wrists.

Trade in daily discomfort, dropped objects, and frustration, for hands that feel strong, stable, and pain-free, because they’re no longer compensating for a bigger issue.
