Ayurvedic Treatment for Wrist Pain

WRIST PAIN Ayurvedic Treatment

Your doctor may physically examine you to:

• Check your wrist for soreness, swelling or deformity
• Check your wrist for movement to see if your range of motion has been decreased
• Assess your grip strength and forearm strength

In some cases, your doctor may suggest imaging tests, or nerve tests.

• X-rays.This is the most commonly used test for wrist pain. Using a small amount of radiation, X-rays can reveal bone fractures, as well as signs of arthritis.
• CT scan: This scan can provide more-detailed views of the bones in your wrist and may help find fractures that don't show up on X-rays.
• MRI scanThis test uses radio waves and a strong magnetic field to produce detailed images of your bones and soft tissues. For a wrist MRI, you may be able to insert your arm into a smaller device instead of whole-body MRI machine.
• Ultrasound: This simple, non-invasive test can help visualize tendons, ligaments and any abnormal growth.
