How it Works?

Regenerative Medicine for Wrist Pain

We treat wrist pain using advanced non-surgical pain management procedures in Charlotte and Fort Mill that involve regenerative medicine. Regenerative medicine includes medical interventions that harness the body’s healing processes to facilitate quick recovery of wrist pain and wrist conditions. Some of these regenerative procedures include stem cell therapy and PRP therapy which are derived from the host’s cells.

Treatment with these procedures is more beneficial compared to traditional therapies because they harness the body’s self-healing properties by addressing the root of the pain rather than managing symptoms as seen with conventional medications. Hence, patients can benefit from long-term treatments that are safe and effective.

Regenerative Medicine - PRP Therapy for Waist Pain

PRP therapy is a regenerative procedure that uses an injection of a concentration of a patient’s own platelets to amplify the body’s natural growth factors for your body to use for the healing of injured tissues. Once injected into the injured wrist, these growth factors and other natural healing cells are deployed to the site to begin the recovery process.

Since it’s a regenerative procedure, treatment with PRP therapy is fast, effective and a safer alternative for the healing of wrist pain. If you’re looking for a long-term pain relief alternative, PRP therapy may be your solution.

Stem Cell Therapy for Wrist Pain

Stem cell therapy is another innovative procedure in the field of regenerative medicine which uses specialized cells from the patient’s body to facilitate quick recovery of wrist pain. It doesn’t matter if you recently had an acute wrist injury or you have a long-term condition such as arthritis, stem cell therapy will relieve the discomfort in your wrist by harnessing your natural healing factors. Our patients can benefit from stem cell therapy for wrist pain in the following ways:

  • Stem cell therapy is an innovative regenerative procedure with the potential to generate pleasing therapeutic results. The procedure is safe, minimally invasive, and ethically responsible. Hence, you’re protected from the risks of highly invasive surgical procedures such as a wrist arthroplasty that can lead to complications such as bleeding and post-surgical infections.
  • Stem cell therapy is a more effective alternative to traditional medical approaches because it harnesses the host’s healing properties to provide recovery rather than manage symptoms. This makes treatment with stem cell therapy better for the long-term treatment of wrist pain.
  • Since the patient’s cells are used for the procedure, there are no risks of adverse and unexpected adverse effects and recovery is much faster than typical conventional therapies, so patients can quickly return to the things they love.

ABOUT TREATMENTS FOR WRIST PAIN

HOW CAN I STOP WRIST PAIN?

We offer several different options for treating wrist pain at our offices in Charlotte, Huntersville and Fort Mill. Traditional treatments include steroid injections and nerve blocks. We also offer innovative regenerative treatments such as PRP therapy and stem cell therapy.

WHEN SHOULD YOU SEEK TREATMENT FOR YOUR WRIST PAIN?

Most cases of wrist pain usually resolve on their own after a short period of rest or over-the-counter medications. However, wrist pain that lingers on for weeks requires appropriate medical assessment. Untreated wrist pain may affect a person’s quality of life and overall well-being, so it is always a good option to check with a pain specialist for appropriate therapy. One of our board-certified physiatrists can assess your pain, evaluate your symptoms, and help you prepare a treatment plan that will provide you with relief and restore functionality to your wrist.

CAN WRIST PAIN GO AWAY ON ITS OWN?

Wrist pain is caused by several factors that may manifest from mild to severe cases of wrist pain. Depending on the cause of the pain and level of discomfort, mild cases can resolve with rest or use of over-the-counter medications. However, more serious cases may require intervention by pain specialists. It is difficult to tell if a wrist condition will resolve on its own or not, so it is advisable to consult with a pain specialist to evaluate your symptoms so you can know the next steps.

HOW DO YOU KNOW IF WRIST PAIN IS SERIOUS?

It is usually difficult to tell if wrist pain is serious or not at the initial onset. However, wrist pain that lingers and refuses to go away after rest or interventions with over-the-counter pain relief or ice or heat therapy may be severe. If you feel this way, it is the right time to contact a pain specialist to evaluate your symptoms, determine the source, and design a treatment plan that is specific to your needs.

HOW CAN I KEEP MY WRISTS HEALTHY?

The wrist is a mobile joint in the human body. However, it is prone to wear, tear, and injuries. A great way to keep your wrists healthy is to protect your joints by strengthening them through exercising, stretching, and not overstressing your wrist joints.

HOW LONG DOES WRIST PAIN LAST?

The duration of discomfort from wrist pain varies depending on the cause of the pain. Mild cases usually resolve on their own following a brief period of rest or intervention with over-the-counter medications. Acute pains involving minor injuries may resolve after some days or a couple of weeks. More severe cases usually require medical interventions by pain specialists to relieve your pain.

Experts may recommend possible lifestyle changes that may relieve discomfort once the source of the pain has been determined.
