Common Conditions Affecting the Hand and Wrist
Osteoarthritis is a common cause of hand and wrist pain, characterized by the slow wear and tear of ligaments and cartilage in the joints. Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when the median nerve in the wrist becomes compressed, leading to symptoms such as numbness, tingling, and weakness. De Quervain's tenosynovitis affects the tendons in the thumb, causing pain and difficulty with movement. Trigger finger is another inflammatory condition that affects the flexor tendons in the hand, causing the finger to catch or lock when straightened.
Effective Treatment Options for Hand and Wrist Pain
At Vitality Medical Center, we offer a range of innovative treatment options to address hand and wrist pain and promote healing. Regenerative healthcare therapies, harness the body's natural healing processes to reduce inflammation and promote tissue repair. Extracorporeal pulsed activation therapy (EPAT), also known as shockwave therapy, stimulates cell growth and circulation to accelerate healing and reduce pain.
Regenerative Healthcare Therapies:
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy:
PRP involves utilizing the liquid portion of your blood to accelerate the healing process. The procedure concentrates plasma, which contains growth factors and thrombocytes, aiding in blood clotting and healing. PRP injections can alleviate joint and muscle pain, tendinitis, trigger points, sprains, strains, and conditions including osteoarthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, and even hair loss.
EPAT, also known as shockwave therapy, is a non-invasive treatment method that accelerates the healing process in the body. High-energy sound waves are introduced into the painful areas of the body, stimulating metabolism and enhancing blood circulation to regenerate damaged tissue. EPAT therapy addresses adhesions/scar tissue, increases blood flow to the extremities, stimulates tissue cell and nerve growth, and decreases inflammation.
