What Causes Wrist Fractures?
When wrist fracture repair surgery is performed, there are a number of structures that can be damaged. In wrist fractures, the ligaments and tendons around the wrist joint may get injured, sprained, or torn. These injuries can lead to pain after wrist fracture repair surgery because these tissues become inflamed which causes more pain than typically expected for this type of wrist injury.
Wrist Rehabilitation & Treatment Options
After wrist fracture repair surgery, it is important to get wrist fracture rehab so that you can fully recover and have full use of your wrist again. The goal of wrist fracture rehabilitation is to regain movement in the hand and wrist after a fracture has healed. At Dublin Physical & Chiropractic, we offer wrist fracture physical therapy rehab to help you regain full function again.
We will work with your doctor on a custom wrist fracture rehabilitation plan for you or a loved one who has had wrist fracture surgery and is now looking to improve their range of motion, strength, and function in the arm, wrist, and hand.
Our physical therapists will give you specialised and individualised postoperative care after a wrist fracture.
