While these issues can affect people of all ages, the risk increases with age due to degenerative conditions like arthritis. Active individuals, athletes, and those performing repetitive hand movements at work are also more prone to injuries. These can range from minor sprains and strains to severe fractures and nerve damage, all of which can drastically reduce your quality of life.

Common Causes of Hand and Finger Pain

Hand and finger pain can do more than just bother you—it can seriously interfere with your everyday activities, making even simple tasks difficult. Knowing the common causes of this pain is essential to starting the right treatment and finding lasting relief.

Here are some of the most frequent conditions we treat at Snyder Physical Therapy in Tower City, PA:

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: This happens when the median nerve in your wrist gets compressed or irritated as it passes through the carpal tunnel. Symptoms include numbness, tingling, and weakness, usually in the thumb, index, and middle fingers. It’s often linked to repetitive wrist motions or forceful activities.

Tendinopathy: A broad term for tendon problems, including:

  • Tendonitis: Inflammation of the tendon, usually from acute injury.
  • Tendonosis: A chronic condition caused by overuse, leading to tendon degeneration.
    Both types can cause pain and limit hand movement.

Nerve Injuries: Damage to the nerves traveling from your neck to your hand can cause numbness, tingling, or in severe cases, paralysis. These injuries may result from trauma, repetitive stress, or compression.

Fractures: Breaks in the bones of the hand or fingers often stem from falls or crush injuries. Immobilization needed for healing can sometimes lead to stiffness and muscle weakness, complicating recovery.

These issues may arise from repetitive strain, overuse, sudden injury, or lifestyle factors. Fortunately, specialized physical therapy at Snyder Physical Therapy can help restore function and reduce pain in your hands and fingers.
