Absolutely, there are lots of things a chiropractor can do for wrist pain. I would however avoid a chiropractor that will only adjust your wrist. Providing strengthening exercises will give you the best bang for your buck.
Absolutely! Chiropractors can treat the entire musculoskeletal system. Some may specialize in extremities more than others, but in most states it is well within a chiropractor scope and skill set.
Yes most chiropractors should be able to successfully treat wrist pain.
Absolutely, a chiropractor who works on all the joints on the arms and legs should be able to help you. If you would like to schedule a 15min video appointment with me here https://my.timetrade.com/book/WL74Q . I can coach you on techniques so that you are not aggravating your wrist, plus give you exercises that always work to get rid of my wrist pain and have helped many of my patients too.
Yes. Chiropractor can work on the wrist, ankles, feet, arm, legs, and hands. We are not limited only to the spine.
For sure. I would recommend going to a chiropractor that specializes in active release techniques which helps extremities.

Absolutely. He or she will first examine you to determine the cause which could be anything from a sprain/strain to carpal tunnel syndrome and ulnar neuropathy.

Yes, please understand not all chiropractors work with extremities. It is good to also understand that a pain anywhere in the body does not mean that is the area causing the pain. For example, a pain in the wrist may be caused by nerve issues in the neck, or other places in the shoulder, elbow, etc. It is best to call a chiropractic office and ask if they work with extremities prior to making an appointment.
Yes, and you should.
Hi yes a chiropractor can definitely help with wrist pain. In our practice we see it all the time because we all use phones, keyboards, and laptops. A common condition that chiropractors help in the wrist is called carpal tunnel when the nerve in the wrist is being pressed on and can create numbness and wrist pain. They can also recommend exercises and things to help prevent it from happening again. Hope the helps!
Yes, many Chiropractors have a specialty in extremity complaints, such as wrist pain.
