There are over 100 different forms of arthritis, and most are a result of trauma to the joint, infection of the joint, genetic abnormality or age. Do you have pain, which limits your function, especially in your hands? Do you have constant daily pain in your hands? This arthritis pain might be caused by inflammation that occurs around the joints, damage to the joints from disease, daily wear and tear of joints, muscle strains caused by forceful movements against stiff, painful joints and fatigue. The finger, hand and wrist joints become stiffer, limiting motion. In addition, the muscles of the hand and forearm become weaker, taking away much needed support to the joints. Did You Know? If you have had a significant injury to your finger or hands, you do have an increased risk of future arthritis. It is important to work with your hand therapist at Physical Therapy & Rehab Specialists to prevent future injuries and maintain the best joint health possible.
