Wear and tear on the wrists and hands is increasingly common in a world filled with hand-held devices and keyboards. As we place more and more strain on our hands and wrists, they can wear down over time.

Regenexx provides breakthrough, non-surgical treatments that use your body’s own healing agents to treat and repair injuries including carpal tunnel syndrome, TFCC tear, thumb CMC, basal joint arthritis, trigger finger, and other degenerative problems related to the hand or wrist.

Downtime is a fraction of what it is with surgery and generally requires little or no need for opioid pain medications or time off of work.

Doctors

My practice is dedicated to interventional pain management, electrodiagnostic medicine, and sports medicine. I focus on treating patients with nonsurgical options, such as physical therapy, steroid injections, and regenerative medicine or orthobiologic injections.

I am interested in the management of degenerative diseases of the bone, joint, and spine and how they impact my patients’ lives. I am committed to listening to my patients’ concerns, and I try to educate them on the different ways to achieve maximum functional potential. I also strive to alleviate suffering as if it were my own. I believe my role is not only to correct physical problems but also to help patients tackle the numerous hurdles that may lie ahead.

A native of Vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh, India, I moved to the United States in 2000. Since then, travelled all over united states for internship, residency and fellowship training and finally settled in Birmingham joining Ortho Alabama Spine and Sports in 2007. I am board certified in 4 different specialties. Along with providing patient care, I enjoy teaching intervention procedures for spine, joint, tendon and ligament pathologies to doctors from all over the country, through our fellowship program recognized by North American Spine Society (NASS). I am a lecturer and cadaver lab instructor for various courses conducted by NASS and AAPM&R. I am also committed to improving the non-surgical interventions for musculoskeletal problems and do research projects in collaboration with Alabama Clinic Therapeutics (ACT).

My wife, Vinita, and I have three children, who are studying in Vestavia Schools.

*This provider is NOT authorized by Regenexx to treat the C0-C1 or C1-C2 levels of the neck or CCI (craniocervical instability).

During Regenexx’s outpatient procedures, custom concentrations of your body’s natural healing agents are injected into the exact areas of damage in the spine. Treatments use only your own blood to make super-concentrated platelet-rich plasma (PRP) or your own bone marrow concentrate (BMC), which contains stem cells.

Watch a real Regenexx hand procedure performed by a certified Regenexx physician:

Our goal is to use the least invasive, least expensive procedure to get the desired results. Your Regenexx physician will work with you to determine whether that would be a platelet procedure or a BMC procedure.

We maintain an active national registry to track patients’ progress and side effects after procedures. Patients who have undergone Regenexx procedures for hand and wrist pain, injuries, and other conditions report:

At Regenexx, we are dedicated to giving you the information you need to make an informed decision about your best treatment option.

During your initial appointment, your Regenexx doctor will use our four-part SANS (stability, articulation, neuromuscular, and symmetry) evaluation to identify the underlying causes of your pain. Your doctor will examine your injury through a full range of motion and may use ultrasound to observe the inner workings in real time. 

This approach gives a more accurate picture of the root cause of your pain.
