Wrist or Elbow Pain

stem cell therapy for wrist pain or elbow pain

Treatments for Hand, Wrist, or Elbow Conditions

Stem cell therapies offer a natural and effective solution for hand, wrist, and elbow conditions. By promoting tissue repair and regeneration, these advanced treatments help reduce pain, restore function, and improve mobility without the need for orthopedic or sports medicine intervention. Many patients come to us before seeing another specialist to explore our natural, non-surgical solutions.

Discover advanced treatments for upper body conditions without prolonged rehab or recovery. Regenerative therapies focus on repairing and regenerating damaged tissue by activating the body’s natural healing mechanisms. Unlike treatments that only address symptoms, these advanced approaches target the underlying causes of pain and dysfunction. They can provide longer-lasting results, improved mobility, and significant pain relief, empowering patients to reclaim their quality of life. Stem cell therapies include regenerative solutions like PRP, amniotic fluid, or exosomes as groundbreaking alternatives to conventional options, often with fewer risks and longer lasting results.

If you’ve been told you need surgery or cortisone, you likely have a condition we treat. We focus on the same orthopedic and sports-related injuries, but with biologic, restorative options. Steroid, Cortisone, or gel injections may offer temporary relief, but only mask the symptoms without healing the root cause, leading to joint degradation or other complications with repeated use.

Symptoms of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

The carpal tunnel is a narrow passageway surrounded by bones and ligaments on the palm side of the hand. When the median nerve is compressed, symptoms affecting the thumb and fingers can include:

Numbness or tingling sensation
Pain in the hand, wrist and forearm
Reduced grip strength or weakness
Reduced muscle control
Difficulty in gripping objects
Swelling in the hand, wrist, or forearm
Tendency of symptoms to worsen at night

Symptoms of Tennis Elbow

Tennis elbow, also known as lateral epicondylitis, is a condition that causes pain and tenderness on the outside of the elbow. This swelling affects the tendons that bend your wrist backward away from your palm and is often caused from repetitive movements built up over time causing tiny tears or microtraumas.

Numbness, burning or tingling sensation in the fingers
Elbow weakness
Elbow stiffness, particularly in the morning
Pain and/or burning that radiates down the outer side of the forearm
Swelling or tenderness on the outside of the elbow

Symptoms of Golfer's Elbow

Golfer's elbow, also known as medial epicondylitis, is similar to Tennis Elbow, except the pain and inflammation is felt on the inside of the elbow and forearm. It is often caused by repetitive motions as well, including gripping, flexing, and swinging, such as swinging a golf club.

Numbness, burning or tingling sensation in the fingers
Elbow weakness
Pain and/or burning that radiates down the inner side of the forearm
Swelling or tenderness on the inside of the elbow

Elbow Conditions Treated With Stem Cell Therapy

Arthritis/Osteoarthritis

Degeneration of joint cartilage and the underlying bone, leading to pain, stiffness, and limited mobility in the affected joint.

Bursitis

Inflammation of the bursae, small fluid-filled sacs that reduce friction between tissues, resulting in pain, swelling, and restricted movement.

Distal Bicep Tendon Tear

A rupture of the tendon attaching the bicep muscle to the forearm bone, causing pain, weakness, and difficulty rotating the arm.

Fracture

A break in a bone caused by trauma, overuse, or weakened bone structure, often resulting in pain, swelling, and impaired movement.

Lateral Epicondylitis (Tennis Elbow)

Inflammation of the tendons on the outer side of the elbow due to overuse, leading to pain and difficulty with gripping or lifting.

Ligament Strains or Sprains

Overstretching or tearing of ligaments, causing pain, swelling, and instability in the affected joint.

Medial Epicondylitis (Golfer’s Elbow)

Inflammation of the tendons on the inner side of the elbow, causing pain and tenderness, often

associated with repetitive wrist or forearm motions.

Post-Surgical Pain

Discomfort or pain that persists after surgery, varying in intensity and duration depending on the procedure and recovery.

Tendinitis

Inflammation or irritation of a tendon, leading to pain, swelling, and difficulty moving the affected area.

UCL (Ulnar Collateral Ligament) Injury

Damage to the ligament on the inner side of the elbow, often caused by repetitive stress or trauma, leading to pain, instability, and reduced strength.
