Carrying groceries, lifting a tray, typing, or opening a jar shouldn’t mean planning around wrist pain.
If you’re looking for wrist pain help in Woodstock, GA, Dr. Chris Ambrosio at Abundant Health & Wellness Center takes time to understand what hurts, which movements are difficult, and what you’ve already tried.
The first step is an evaluation to help determine which care options may fit your needs.
A Patient’s Experience: Wrist Pain at Work
One patient came to our office with wrist pain that was interfering with his job as a waiter. Carrying heavy trays had become difficult, and he told us surgery had been recommended.
His care included the Halo light therapy system and chiropractic adjustments. He reported that his wrist pain resolved during that visit.
That was his individual experience. The right approach—and how quickly someone responds—depends on what is causing the problem.
Watch his story in the video on this page, or read more patient experiences.
Looking Beyond the Painful Spot
Wrist pain can follow an injury or develop gradually with repeated use. Tendon irritation, joint problems, arthritis, and nerve compression are among the possible causes.
Dr. Ambrosio considers your symptoms, daily activities, and examination findings. When appropriate, he may also assess your elbow, shoulder, and neck to understand whether other areas are contributing to your discomfort.
Tell us if you have tingling, numbness, weakness, swelling, or difficulty gripping. Those details help guide the evaluation.
Care Based on Your Findings
Depending on your needs, recommendations may include:
- Chiropractic adjustments: Hands-on or instrument techniques for areas where restricted joint movement is identified and adjusting is appropriate.
- Light therapy: An option that may be included alongside other care after reviewing your findings.
- Activity guidance: Practical ways to modify tasks that aggravate your wrist.
- Further evaluation: Imaging or referral when your symptoms suggest a problem that needs another type of care.
Dr. Ambrosio also uses kinesiology-based techniques as part of his approach. Muscle-response testing is considered alongside your history and examination, rather than used alone to diagnose the cause of wrist pain.

Does Wrist Pain Always Require Surgery?
No. Some wrist problems can be managed with changes in activity, splinting, rehabilitation, or other nonsurgical care. Others need specialist treatment.
If surgery has been recommended, we can discuss whether an assessment in our office is appropriate. Any decision to delay or change a surgical plan should be discussed with your treating specialist.
When to Seek Prompt Medical Care
Get prompt medical attention if your wrist looks misshapen after an injury, you cannot move it or hold objects, or you develop sudden loss of feeling. A hot, red, swollen wrist with fever also needs prompt evaluation.
Persistent numbness, weakness, or worsening pain deserves assessment rather than being pushed through.
