Wrist Pain Shouldn't Sideline Your Performance
-
Loss of Grip Strength and Function
Everyday activities like lifting weights, holding a racket, or even typing become painful and difficult, limiting your athletic performance and daily life.
-
Fear of Re-Injury Holding You Back
You've tried rest and basic exercises, but the pain keeps returning. Without proper rehabilitation, you risk chronic issues and a longer recovery.
-
Generic Treatment That Doesn't Address Root Causes
Cookie-cutter PT approaches ignore the biomechanics and demands of your sport, leaving you with temporary relief instead of lasting solutions.

“I started today with Dr. Kim. He is a miracle worker. I was in pain 10/10 today and with one session dry needling, heat, & Stretching, I walked out from 10 painful to 3 pain level just being sore only. I highly recommend him to anyone with any type of injuries.“
— Avril V.

Wrist Pain Therapy FAQs

Your first visit includes a comprehensive 60-minute evaluation where we assess your wrist mechanics, grip strength, range of motion, and movement patterns. We'll discuss your injury history, goals, and sport-specific demands, then create a personalized treatment plan. Many patients experience some pain relief even in the first session through manual therapy and targeted exercises.
