Expert Wrist Pain Treatment in Austin with Regenerative Medicine
Wrist pain can make even the most minor tasks feel impossible—from turning a doorknob to typing an email. If you’re experiencing ongoing discomfort, weakness, pain, or limited mobility, it’s essential to seek treatment early.
At the Center for Healing and Regenerative Medicine (CHARM) in Austin, we offer advanced, non-surgical wrist treatments designed to help you heal, regain function, and avoid invasive procedures.
Understanding Wrist Pain and Its Impact on Daily Life
Your wrist is a complex structure made up of eight small carpal bones, numerous ligaments, and an intricate network of tendons and nerves. When something goes wrong, you may feel sharp, shooting pain, a dull ache, stiffness, or numbness and tingling in your fingers.
This kind of discomfort doesn’t just stay in the background; it affects your ability to type, exercise, lift groceries, ride a bike, or even grip a steering wheel. For many, wrist pain leads to decreased productivity and a general decline in overall quality of life.
When rest, ice, and over-the-counter remedies stop working, it’s time to explore a more advanced solution.
Common Wrist Conditions We Successfully Treat
Our physicians specialize in diagnosing and treating a range of wrist pain issues. Some of these include:
- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: This occurs when the median nerve becomes compressed, causing numbness, tingling, and weakness in the hand.
- Wrist Tendinitis and Tenosynovitis: Inflammation of tendons or their protective sheaths from repetitive motion or strain.
- Wrist Arthritis: Degeneration of the wrist joint that can cause pain, stiffness, and reduced range of motion and grip strength.
- Ligament Injuries and Instability: Sprains, tears, or laxity that cause ongoing discomfort or joint instability.
- Fracture Recovery: Residual pain or limited function following a healed wrist fracture.
CHARM's Approach to Wrist Pain Treatment in Austin
Utilizing cutting-edge regenerative therapies to stimulate your body’s natural healing processes, our team helps you avoid surgery and recover from wrist pain with minimal downtime. Our most common approaches to wrist pain include:
- Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP): Derived from your own blood, PRP contains growth factors that promote tissue repair and reduce inflammation through improved joint stability.
- Platelet Lysate: A regenerative injection of growth factors from your own blood. This specialized processing creates a biologic that is safe and effective to use near nerves to reduce inflammation and promote healing.
- Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate (BMAC): Harvested from your hip bone, BMAC includes stem cells that help regenerate damaged cartilage, ligaments, and tendons.
- Prolotherapy: A dextrose-based injection therapy that stimulates healing in weakened ligaments and soft tissues.
- Hydrodissection: A gentle, image-guided injection that frees compressed nerves by creating space between irritated tissues—reducing pain and restoring mobility without surgery.
- MPS Trigger Point Release, Class IV Laser, and DC Myofascial Therapy: Hands-on treatments that release muscular tension and improve soft tissue mobility, helping to reduce secondary compression, inflammation, and enhance nerve glide in the affected region.
- Neurac® and Neufit®: Advanced adjunct therapies that retrain the nervous system through body weight off-loading, guided movement, and direct current electrical stimulation—helping restore function, reduce pain, and improve how your body moves.
- Combination Therapies: In many cases, we create a customized treatment plan that utilizes multiple regenerative tools to achieve optimal results.
When to Seek Professional Help for Wrist Pain
While wrist discomfort can resolve on its own, some symptoms shouldn’t be ignored. If you’re experiencing wrist pain that lingers for more than a few days, it’s time to schedule an appointment with a provider.
Numbness, tingling, and weakness in the hand may indicate a nerve problem, such as carpal tunnel syndrome. Swelling, clicking, reduced range of motion, or a prior injury that hasn’t fully healed can also indicate underlying issues requiring medical attention.
Ultimately, early intervention is key. Patients who begin treatment at the first sign of persistent wrist pain often recover more quickly and avoid future complications.
