Elbow, wrist pain
Elbow and wrist pain often occur in people who engage in sports activities or have certain occupations that require frequent use of their hands.
When the tendons in the elbow and wrist are repeatedly damaged due to friction, inflammation occurs. These inflammations can cause severe pain, and wrist inflammation in particular can compress nerves and cause numbness in the hand.

Both elbow and wrist pain are caused by repetitive friction-induced injuries.

If you have been using your wrist or fingers excessively or suddenly exerted a strong force, the delicate tendons located in the elbow and wrist can be damaged, leading to inflammation.
If this inflammation is not treated immediately, the tendons can experience increased friction, worsening the symptoms.
Therefore, if you have pain in your elbow or wrist, we recommend seeking prompt medical treatment.

due to inflammation.
If inflammation occurs in the carpal tunnel of the wrist, it can cause pain
and compress the median nerve, leading to a sensation of numbness.
Typically, this numbness can be felt in the thumb, second, third, and half of the fourth finger.

The effectiveness of shockwave therapy for Elbow, wrist pain.
Elbow pain is usually caused by damage to the tendons on the inner and outer sides due to continuous friction or excessive use, which leads to inflammation.
When the inner side hurts, it is called "golfer's elbow," and when the outer side hurts, it is called "tennis elbow."
Shockwave therapy can help heal the inflammation of these tendons quickly.
01_ Elbow pain
There is a small tunnel-like space in the wrist called the carpal tunnel where tendons, blood vessels, and nerves pass through. This space becomes very narrow when the wrist is bent upward, and using the fingers in this position can cause friction on the tendons, leading to inflammation and pain.
These symptoms are commonly seen in modern people who use devices like mice. Shockwave therapy can quickly heal the inflammation itself, making it a fast and effective treatment for wrist pain caused by inflammation.
If inflammation occurs in the carpal tunnel, a tunnel-like structure in the wrist, it can cause pressure on the blood vessels and nerves, leading to numbness in the hand and fingers. This numbness is caused by the inflammation pressing on the nerves and blood vessels, so removing the inflammation can alleviate the numbness.
Shockwave therapy expands and generates blood vessels in the treatment area, breaks down adhesions caused by inflammation, removes inflammation, and accelerates healing. Therefore, shockwave therapy is an effective and quick method to recover from inflammation, and it can help treat numbness in the hand.
