Supporting Hand and Wrist Function Without Surgery At Pain Doctors Medical

Daily use of handheld devices, keyboards, and repetitive motions may contribute to strain on the hands and wrists. Over time, this strain can contribute to tissue wear, joint irritation, or other functional limitations that affect activity levels and overall well-being.

Physicians in the licensed Regenexx network, including those practicing at Pain Doctors Medical at 495 North 13th Street, Newark, New Jersey, offer procedures using Regenexx injectates that may support the body’s natural healing response. These less invasive procedures are designed to help address a range of hand and wrist conditions, potentially including:

  • Carpal tunnel syndrome
  • Triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) tears
  • Thumb carpometacarpal (CMC) or basal joint arthritis
  • Trigger finger
  • Other degenerative conditions potentially affecting hand or wrist function

This approach may involve less downtime compared to surgical alternatives and may reduce the need for extended time away from daily activities.

How the Regenexx Approach May Help with Hand and Wrist Conditions

Physicians in the licensed Regenexx network perform outpatient procedures using Regenexx injectates to address hand and wrist concerns. These procedures involve the use of the individual’s own biological material, either blood or bone marrow, processed to create a customized concentration of the body’s natural healing agents.

Depending on the patient’s condition, the physician may recommend one of the following:

  • Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injectate, derived from a sample of your own blood and concentrated using Regenexx processing.
  • Bone marrow concentrate (BMC) injectate, created from a sample of your own bone marrow, which may include cells and growth factors involved in tissue repair.

Injections are precisely guided to the areas of damage within the hand or wrist, aiming to support the body’s natural ability to help reduce inflammation and may improve function.
