Tendonitis (Wrist & Hand)

Causes and Risk Factors:

• Repetitive hand or wrist movements, like typing, texting, or using tools
• Overuse from sports or physical work
• Sudden injury or strain to the tendons
• Poor posture or using the wrist in an awkward position for long periods
• Inflammatory conditions, like arthritis
• Weak muscles or tight tendons that add pressure to the area
