Our wrists and elbows are in constant motion throughout the day. Whether you are typing, lifting, playing sports, or carrying groceries, these joints bear repetitive stress. This constant use makes them highly susceptible to tendonitis, sprains, and chronic stiffness.
Orthopedic & Joint Expertise
At Viva Physio in Nasr City, our joint and tendon rehabilitation programs are overseen by Prof. Dr. Abeer Elwishy. We focus on diagnosing the exact tendon or ligament causing the issue, rather than just treating the generalized pain. Treating these smaller, intricate joints requires highly specific manual therapy and advanced modalities.
Conditions We Effectively Treat
- Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis): Pain on the outside of the elbow caused by repetitive wrist extension.
- Golfer's Elbow (Medial Epicondylitis): Pain on the inside of the elbow from repetitive gripping or wrist flexion.
- Wrist Sprains & Stiffness: Recovering full mobility after a fall or repetitive strain.
- De Quervain's Tenosynovitis: Severe pain near the base of the thumb, common in new mothers and heavy smartphone users.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can physical therapy cure tennis elbow?
Yes. Physical therapy is the most effective treatment for tennis elbow. At Viva Physio, we use therapies like Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) to break down scar tissue and stimulate healing, combined with eccentric strengthening exercises to permanently resolve the pain.
Why is my wrist stiff after a minor fall?
A fall onto an outstretched hand often sprains the intricate ligaments of the wrist. Without proper physical therapy, scar tissue forms and restricts joint mobility. We use targeted manual therapy to restore normal joint mechanics and alleviate stiffness.
