Avoid Surgery With The Regenexx Approach For Hand Conditions

Hand and thumb osteoarthritis ranks as the second most common form of arthritis. It often stems from repetitive motions. Daily activities like gripping objects or writing can cause cartilage breakdown over time. This wear and tear typically leads to joint irritation.

Surgery is a common treatment path but may carry risks. The Regenexx approach includes non-surgical procedures for these conditions. Physicians in the licensed Regenexx network utilize these procedures to potentially reduce pain. The goal involves supporting improved function without the need for invasive surgery.

Pain Doctors Medical serves the Newark, NJ area. Here, physicians perform outpatient procedures using Regenexx injectates. The process involves advanced image guidance. Physicians deliver customized concentrations of the body’s own healing agents to the injury site. This precise method may help manage pain levels. It aims to support joint function with minimal disruption to daily activities.
