Avoid Wrist Surgery with Regenexx

The triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) is responsible for the use of our opposable thumbs and wear or injury can lead to wrist pain and swelling. In many cases, the recommended treatment for chronic TFCC problems is a surgery that involves shortening the ulna, the arm bone leading to the wrist, in order to reduce pressure. Research shows that this surgery, far from being a helpful long-term solution, actually leads to an increase in negative forces in the wrist that lead to future injuries. Beyond that, significant complications have been found in nearly 50% of patients following surgery.

During this outpatient procedure, our expert physicians use precise image guidance to inject custom concentrations of your body’s natural healing agents into the exact areas of injury in the TFCC to reduce pain and discomfort and to restore function. Best of all, your downtime will be a fraction of surgery and little to no time off of work. Call our patient care coordinators today to get started on your path to recovery.

I was born and raised in the farmlands of Iowa. I completed a BS degree in Biology with minors in Chemistry and Psychology. From there I moved on to medical school at Loma Linda University completing a residency in physical medicine and rehabilitation and a fellowship in pain management. I am board certified in each and have been in private practice for the past 15 years. I decided to make the change to regenerative medicine in 2022 after I herniated my C6-7 disc to the left with severe nerve root compression with significant pain, numbness as well as some weakness. I was going to have surgery but Dr. Jamie Lewis convinced me to have a treatment using Regenexx injectates as I waited. Turned out that I never needed the surgery as the platelet lysate injection series stopped the pain and woke up the arm. Now I have no sensation loss or strength loss. I was aware of PRP treatments but I had no idea of the benefits that could be achieved even with my severe nerve root compression from a disc herniation. I have been studying, training and performing regenerative treatments since then and am thankful to be able to provide those same procedures using Regenexx injectates to my patients.
