Quality Treatment for Common Hand Injuries in Madison, CT and the Surrounding Areas
Injuries happen! At some point you’ve probably injured your finger, hand, or wrist and ended up with swelling, bruising, or pain. Most of the time, our body movements don’t cause problems, but it's not surprising that symptoms develop from everyday wear and tear, overuse, or injury.
Finger, hand, or wrist injuries most commonly occur from everyday activities and accidents, including:
- Gardening
- Lawn mower use
- Snowblower use
- Sports or recreational activities
- Work related tasks
- Repetitive computer and cell phone use
- Projects around the home
- Accidental falls
- Animal bites
- Burns
- Cooking
The risk of finger, hand, or wrist injury is higher in contact sports such as wrestling, football, or soccer, and in high-speed sports such as biking, skiing, snowboarding, and skateboarding. Sports that require weight bearing on the hands and arms, such as gymnastics, can increase the risk of injury. Sports that use hand equipment such as ski poles, hockey or lacrosse sticks, or racquets also increase the risk of injury.
In children, most finger, hand, or wrist injuries occur during sports or play or from accidental falls. Any injury occurring at the end of a long bone near a joint may injure the growth plate and need to be evaluated.
Older adults are at higher risk for injuries and fractures because they lose muscle mass and bone strength as they age. They also have more problems with vision and balance, which increases their risk of accidental injury.
Everyone from weekend warriors to professional athletes is prone to sports related injuries such as golfers elbow, tennis elbow, jersey finger, and more.
