Many patients prefer to go for Stem Cell therapy rather than a surgery. Wrist and hand pain can be a cause of an injury like sprain, fracture or medical conditions like osteoarthritis, tendonitis or arthritis. Surgery is usually suggested for treating a number of wrist and hand conditions. But surgery needs hospitalization and the recovery could be slow. There are always a number of risks and complexities related to surgery like post surgical pain, infections, reactions to anesthesia, nerve damage etc. Additionally, in many instances, wrist and hand functionality cannot fully recover after the surgery.
But stem cell treatment for wrist pain can give new cells to the damaged regions of joints and tendons in the hands and wrists to reduce pain and increase the mobility, recovering you faster with less complications.
Here are the wrists and hand conditions that can be addressed by stem cell therapy:
- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
- Chronic Sprain
- Hand Osteoarthritis, Degenerative Arthritis of the Hand
- CMC Arthritis of the Thumb
- Hand Tendonitis, Wrist Tendonitis
- Rheumatoid Arthritis of the Hand
- Rheumatoid Arthritis of the Wrist
- Wrist Osteoarthritis
- Degenerative Arthritis of the Wrist
How is stem cell therapy helpful?
The gist of using stem cell therapy is for supporting the natural tissue regeneration for suppressing the inflammation, relieving pain and restoring mobility and elbow functionality. The doctors use the stem cells of the patients to repair the damaged wrists and hand tissues naturally. The stem cells are obtained from bone marrow and fat. They are obtained with minimal discomfort, then injected into the damaged area on the wrist or hand with the concentrated platelet rich plasma. This is a part of the patient’s own blood that is loaded with growth factors that can trigger the stem cells and evoke them to produce extra growth factors and anti-inflammatory molecules.
The platelet rich plasma can be obtained with the help of a simple method of centrifugation of a blood sample. With the help of platelet rich plasma, the stem cells will offer the precursor cells for tissue repair and also change the environment in the injured tissue to heal and regenerate. This heals the damaged wrist of hand by triggering the cellular proliferation and repair processes by reducing inflammation. A single stem cell injection is enough to get good results for most problems.
