If you’ve injured or are experiencing pain, discomfort, or dysfunction of the small joints, anywhere from your hand to your wrist, you’ve come to the right place.
Pregnancy and motherhood is such an exciting time of your life, however, due to the significant hormonal changes that accompany this period, you may experience pain and dysfunction of the small joints of the hand and wrist.
At Action Rehab hand therapy, we can help treat your symptoms and put in place preventative strategies so that you can enjoy this new chapter of your life.
Pregnancy causes the hormone levels in your body to change significantly, both during pregnancy and following the birth of your baby. Progesterone levels are extraordinarily high which causes a loosening of the ligaments throughout your body and can affect the small joints of your hand. You also have increases fluid retention which causes swelling around joints. This can make new mothers more prone to conditions such as:
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
De Quervain's Tenosynovitis
Trigger Finger
Wrist Instability
