Pain in the hands and wrists can make even the simplest tasks difficult, impacting your ability to work, exercise, or enjoy daily activities. Dr. Steven Struhl offers advanced stem cell therapy as a minimally invasive treatment for injuries and degenerative conditions affecting the hands and wrists. This cutting-edge approach harnesses the body’s own regenerative cells to reduce pain, repair damaged tissue, and restore mobility. With clinics in NYC and White Plains, Dr. Struhl provides personalized care to help patients regain function and live pain-free.
Understanding Stem Cell Therapy for Hands & Wrists
Stem cell therapy uses the body’s natural healing potential to treat painful conditions in the small yet complex structures of the hands and wrists. Stem cells are “blank cells” capable of transforming into various tissue types, such as cartilage, tendons, and ligaments. When injected into the affected area, stem cells stimulate tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and improve overall joint function.
How Stem Cell Therapy Works
- Stem Cell Collection: Stem cells are harvested from the patient’s bone marrow in a quick, minimally invasive procedure.
- Processing for Potency: The cells are processed in a centrifuge to concentrate their regenerative and anti-inflammatory properties.
- Targeted Injection: Concentrated stem cells are injected into the injured or degenerated areas of the hands or wrists, promoting healing and reducing pain.
Treatment for Hand & Wrist Injuries and Painful Conditions
The hands and wrists are highly intricate structures composed of small bones, joints, tendons, and ligaments, all of which are prone to injury and degeneration. Stem cell therapy offers a natural, effective solution for a range of hand- and wrist-specific conditions, including:
- Osteoarthritis in Hands or Wrists: Stem cells help regenerate cartilage and reduce joint inflammation, alleviating stiffness and improving mobility.
- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: Stem cell injections target inflammation in the median nerve, potentially relieving pressure and reducing symptoms.
- Tendon Injuries: Common conditions like trigger finger and De Quervain’s tenosynovitis can benefit from the regenerative properties of stem cells.
- Ligament Tears and Sprains: Stem cells promote healing of damaged ligaments in the wrist, improving stability and function.
- Fracture Healing: Stem cells accelerate recovery for wrist or hand fractures by supporting bone and soft tissue regeneration.
Benefits of Stem Cell Therapy for Hands & Wrists
Stem cell therapy provides numerous advantages for patients seeking relief from hand or wrist pain:
- Minimally Invasive: The procedure is performed in-office with minimal downtime, allowing patients to return to daily activities quickly.
- Natural Healing: By using the patient’s own cells, stem cell therapy promotes long-term recovery without the risks of synthetic drugs or invasive surgery.
- Targeted Relief: Stem cell injections address the root causes of pain, reducing the need for ongoing medications or interventions.
What to Expect After Stem Cell Therapy
Patients typically experience reduced pain and improved hand or wrist function within a few weeks of treatment, with continued progress over the following months. By stimulating the body’s natural healing processes, stem cell therapy provides lasting relief and helps prevent further joint deterioration.
