Common Causes of Elbow, Wrist, and Hand Pain in Dallas
Your hands and arms go through thousands of repetitive motions daily, making them highly vulnerable to strain and injury. Common causes include:
- Repetitive Strain & Overuse – Gripping, lifting, or repetitive motions inflame tendons and joints.
- Poor Ergonomics – Awkward hand positioning while working or exercising leads to long-term tissue irritation.
- Trauma & Injury – Falls, impacts, or sudden force can cause fractures, sprains, or nerve damage.
- Arthritis & Joint Degeneration – Chronic inflammation leads to stiffness, swelling, and reduced mobility.
Left untreated, these issues can lead to nerve damage, chronic pain, or permanent joint stiffness.
How We Diagnose and Treat Your Pain
At Power Performance & Rehabilitation, we go beyond just relieving symptoms—we find and fix the underlying cause of your discomfort through a comprehensive evaluation and targeted treatment plan.
What to Expect from Your Evaluation:
- Activity & Movement Analysis – Identifying repetitive strain from work, sports, or daily habits.
- Postural & Alignment Assessment – Detecting imbalances contributing to pain and joint stress.
- Hands-On Strength & Flexibility Testing – Measuring mobility limitations and pinpointing muscle weaknesses.
- Nerve & Circulation Screening – Evaluating whether nerve compression or blood flow issues are involved.

FAQs: What You Need to Know About Your Pain and Recovery
How do I know if my pain is serious?
If your pain is persistent, worsening, or affecting daily tasks, it’s a sign that something isn’t healing properly. Pain that lasts more than a few weeks should be evaluated to prevent further damage.
Can this pain go away on its own?
Some minor discomfort improves with rest, but chronic pain, nerve issues, and joint problems rarely resolve without treatment. Delaying care can lead to long-term complications like arthritis, tendon degeneration, or loss of grip strength.
What are my treatment options?
We offer hands-on therapy, movement retraining, ergonomic corrections, and strengthening programs designed to restore function and prevent recurring pain. Our goal is to help you recover without surgery or medication whenever possible.

Common Wrist & Hand Conditions We Treat in Dallas
Carpal tunnel syndrome
Also called median nerve compression, this condition causes numbness, tingling, or weakness in the hand. Anything that squeezes or irritates the median nerve in the carpal tunnel space may lead to CTS. Burning or itching numbness in your palm, thumb, or index and middle fingers are common symptoms.
Arthritis
Early symptoms of arthritis of the hand include joint pain that may feel dull, or like a burning sensation. The pain often occurs after periods of increased joint use, such as heavy gripping of grasping. The pain may not be present immediately, but may show up hours later or even the following day. Stiffness and pain in the morning is typical.
Trigger finger
A condition in which one of your fingers gets stuck in a bent position, your finger may bend or straighten with a snap, like a trigger being pulled and released. Trigger finger occurs when the affected finger tendon sheath becomes irritated and inflamed. This interferes with the normal gliding motion of the tendon through the sheath. Prolonged irritation can produce scarring, thickening, and the formation of bumps or nodules in the tendon that impede the tendon’s motion even more.
De Quervain’s tenosynivitis
(dih-kwer-VAINS ten-oh-sine-oh-VIE-tis) A painful condition that affects the tendons on the thumb side of your wrist, De Quervain’s tenosynovitis will cause pain with turning of the wrist, grasping, or making a fist.
How Physical Therapy Helps Elbow, Wrist, and Hand Pain in Dallas
Physical therapy can effectively reduce or eliminate pain in your elbows, wrists, and hands. It can even help you avoid surgery. According to the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA), manual physical therapy may even work better than surgery for conditions such as carpal tunnel. Often a physical therapist will work in conjunction with your primary care doctor to identify the root cause of your pain. A physical therapist will evaluate your condition which can include assessing your flexibility and strength. After a complete evaluation has been made a physical therapist will put together an individualized program to treat your pain. Exercise and stretching may be included to improve your strength and increase the range of motion. A physical therapist may also use heat and ice therapy, massage treatment, or electrical stimulation.
