Elbow, Wrist & Hand Pain Relief in New York City
Pain in the elbow, wrist, or hand can limit your ability to work, play sports, or carry out simple daily tasks. At Dynamic Physical Therapy NYC, our licensed therapists help patients across New York recover function, reduce pain, and avoid unnecessary surgery through targeted treatment plans.
What are common elbow conditions?
Tennis Elbow
Tennis elbow, or lateral epicondylitis, occurs when the tendons in your elbow are overloaded by repetitive motions of the wrist and arm. Pain usually develops on the outside of the elbow and can spread into the forearm and wrist. Despite its name, this condition affects far more than athletes. Treatment often includes rest, activity modification, and physical therapy to restore strength and mobility.
Golfer’s Elbow
Golfer’s elbow causes pain where the forearm muscles attach to the bony bump on the inside of your elbow. Symptoms may include pain radiating into the forearm and wrist, stiffness in the elbow, and weakness in the hands. Like tennis elbow, it is not limited to athletes. Physical therapy in New York City can relieve pain and restore function through stretching, strengthening, and postural training.
Arthritis
The most common form of elbow arthritis is rheumatoid arthritis, but osteoarthritis and injuries can also lead to joint degeneration. Prior trauma or sports injuries are frequent contributors. Our therapists use joint protection strategies, mobility exercises, and strength training to manage pain and improve everyday function.
Cubital Tunnel Syndrome
Cubital Tunnel Syndrome involves pressure or stretching of the ulnar nerve — often called the “funny bone” nerve. Symptoms may include numbness or tingling in the ring and little fingers, pain in the forearm, or weakness in the hand. Physical therapy is highly effective in restoring strength, relieving nerve pressure, and decreasing pain without relying on medications or surgery.
What are common wrist and hand conditions?
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when the median nerve is compressed as it passes through the wrist. This leads to pain, numbness, and tingling in the hand and arm. The carpal tunnel is a narrow passageway surrounded by bones and ligaments, and pressure on this space can disrupt nerve function. Our New York physical therapists use neural mobilization, movement reeducation, postural correction, and ergonomic guidance to restore mobility and reduce symptoms.
