Wrist and Hand Pain Conditions, Assessment and Treatment
Joint Injection Clinic provides private wrist and hand assessment and treatment at clinics in Dartford, Kings Hill, Canterbury and Romford. No GP referral is required, and appointments are usually available within 24–48 hours.
Wrist and hand symptoms may originate from tendons, tendon sheaths, nerves or joints. Because pain, tingling, stiffness, weakness and locking can have different causes, treatment begins with a clinical assessment to identify the likely condition.

Wrist and hand symptoms are not always caused by the same structure, which is why treatment at JIC begins with an individual assessment rather than a predetermined procedure.
Depending on the diagnosis, treatment may include activity modification, splinting advice, MSK physiotherapy and exercises designed to maintain movement, improve function and reduce strain on the affected tissues.
Diagnostic MSK ultrasound may be useful when swelling is present or when the affected tendon sheath, nerve or other soft-tissue structure requires further assessment.
If clinically appropriate, an ultrasound-guided corticosteroid injection may be considered for selected cases of carpal tunnel syndrome, De Quervain’s tenosynovitis, trigger finger or thumb, thumb-base osteoarthritis, or finger osteoarthritis.
An injection is not automatically recommended for every wrist or hand problem. Suitability depends on the diagnosis, severity of symptoms, previous treatment and structures involved.
