Where Does it Hurt?

Hand & Wrist

There are 29 bones, over 25 muscles, countless ligaments, nerves, and blood vessels in the human wrist and hand. The wrist and hand when combined with the movement of the forearm has a tremendous capacity for motion allowing for our dexterity. The wrist and hand are very important in most activities that make up our day.
