Wrist & Hand Pain

Relieving Wrist and Hand Pain with Dr. Rife’s Infrared Injury Mat

The wrist comprises three main joints: the radiocarpal joint, ulnocarpal joint, and the distal radioulnar joint. Meanwhile, the hand consists of 27 bones, including 8 small carpal bones that bridge the wrist to the hand. Ligaments, muscles, tendons, and bursae contribute to stability and function in the wrist and hand.

Scaphoid Fracture: The scaphoid fracture, often caused by a fall on an outstretched hand (FOOSH injury), is crucial to diagnose early for proper management. Given the scaphoid’s limited blood supply, timely intervention is vital to determine whether surgical intervention is necessary. Dr. Rife’s Infrared Injury Mat can assist in the treatment of scaphoid fractures by promoting blood circulation to the affected area, facilitating healing, and reducing pain and inflammation.

Distal Radius Fracture: Whether classified as a Colles’ or Smith’s fracture, distal radius fractures occur due to falls on outstretched or flexed wrists, respectively. Dr. Rife’s Infrared Injury Mat can aid in the healing process by providing soothing heat therapy, promoting relaxation of surrounding muscles, and accelerating tissue repair, thus assisting in pain relief and functional recovery.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: Compression of the median nerve in the carpal tunnel leads to wrist, hand, and finger pain or numbness, particularly common among individuals with prolonged desk work or computer use. Dr. Rife’s Infrared Injury Mat can alleviate symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome by promoting muscle relaxation, reducing nerve compression, and improving blood circulation, thereby easing pain and numbness in the affected areas.

De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis: This painful condition affects the tendons on the thumb side of the wrist, often resulting from overuse and poor mechanics. Dr. Rife’s Infrared Injury Mat can assist in the management of De Quervain’s tenosynovitis by reducing inflammation, promoting tendon healing, and providing gentle heat therapy, thus alleviating pain and discomfort associated with wrist movements.

Wrist / Hand Injury + Pain Program
The Wrist/ Hand Injury + Pain Program employs the Muscle Injury frequency group because many injuries and conditions affecting the wrist and hand are closely linked to the muscles, tendons, and ligaments that provide support and enable movement. Common issues such as carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, and muscle strains often arise from repetitive motions, overuse, or trauma. By focusing on the Muscle Injury frequency group, the program targets the healing needs of these soft tissues, promoting improved blood flow, reducing inflammation, and enhancing overall flexibility and strength. This specialized approach facilitates a more effective recovery process, allowing individuals to restore function and alleviate pain in the wrist and hand

Use Wrist / Hand Injury + Pain [Program #3] Secondary Option [Program #1]
This program employs the Muscle Injury frequency group, focusing on muscles, tendons, and ligaments impacted by conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome and tendonitis from repetitive motion. Enhanced circulation, reduced inflammation, and improved flexibility aid recovery, restoring wrist and hand function.
