instruction: hello doctor I have been arm wrestling for close to seven years and with time I have noticed a couple of things about my wrist that are hindering my ability to have healthy progress in this sport the main issue is with wrist flexion my problem is that while doing the flexing motion of the wrist with a decent load on it cracks in some positions and I lose all my power in my right wrist I feel the crack around the ulnar styloid region and in my left wrist I can feel it around the scaphoid area the thing is that the thicker the handle of the weight is the better it feels on the wrist once it is past a certain thickness the cracking stops and I can train properly another thing that I notice is that if I try to flex my wrist with squeezed gripped it is like a pier that you squeeze then the motion is not smooth at all I can feel all sorts of cracks and it hurts the cracks are mainly around the scaphoid area in both wrists and it is less on the right do you believe that a chiropractor could fix this do you have any idea of what the problem might be please help
output: hello I read your concern in my opinion the issue is with an excessive sheer force that you create when you flex your wrist is causing bone on bone rubbing and leading to those crack sounds depends on the concentration and loading of weight you feel it at different areas between the right and left wrist you can get a chiropractor consultation to mobilize the wrist and relieve muscle tension and then do stability exercises and load your forearm that should be safe the position of your wrist is always important as wrong positions tend to increase issues so be cautious do a lot of stretching exercises and icing to release tension as of now I hope this helps
