A sore wrist after a day of typing, lifting, or household work is common. But wrist pain that keeps returning, limits your grip strength, makes simple activities difficult, or wakes you up at night is not something you should ignore.
At Trinity Pain Clinic, Dr. Smita Gulati takes a comprehensive approach to wrist pain by carefully evaluating the underlying factors contributing to your symptoms. Instead of focusing solely on temporary relief, she works to identify the root cause of the pain and create an individualized treatment plan designed to improve function, reduce discomfort, and support long-term recovery.
Wrist Pain
The wrist is a complex joint made up of bones, ligaments, tendons, nerves, and muscles working together to provide movement and strength. Pain can develop when any of these structures become irritated, inflamed, or injured.

Common causes include:
Repetitive strain from typing, writing, or mobile phone use
Tendonitis and tendon inflammation
Ligament injuries and wrist sprains
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Arthritis affecting the wrist joint
Previous fractures or trauma
Nerve compression
Trigger points in the forearm and hand muscles
Many individuals experience wrist pain due to a combination of factors rather than a single diagnosis. In some cases, the pain may actually be referred pain, where the source originates from the neck, shoulder, or forearm while the discomfort is felt in the wrist.
A Different Approach to Wrist Pain Treatment
Dr. Smita Gulati, pain management doctor, focuses on identifying the precise pain generator and providing targeted, non-surgical treatment whenever possible.
Every consultation begins with a detailed assessment to determine whether the pain is arising from:
Tendons
Ligaments
Nerves
Joints
Muscles and trigger points
Surrounding soft tissues
This detailed evaluation helps ensure that treatment is directed at the true source of pain rather than simply masking symptoms.
