Hand and Wrist
Wear and tear on the wrists and hands is increasingly common in a world filled with hand-held devices and keyboards. As we place more and more strain on our hands and wrists, they can wear down over time beyond our body’s natural ability to repair damage. While total joint reconstruction surgery may improve the condition for some, new problems can easily develop over time when we fail to address the biomechanical causes of our injury. As a result, many surgical patients go on to experience continued symptoms such as numbness, tenderness, or reduced range of motion or function.
Conditions we treat in the hand and wrist
A diagnosis first, then a plan
Correct diagnosis takes time. Regenexx physicians spend an average of an hour with new patients, addressing not only the site of pain but its underlying causes. Patients then receive a candidacy grade that rates the likelihood that a procedure can help them.
If we are not the right fit for your condition, we will tell you — and try to point you in the right direction.
The treatments behind these procedures

01
Regenexx procedures — bone marrow concentrate and advanced platelet procedures, placed under image guidance.

Prolotherapy — for ligament laxity and joint instability.

Which one fits your case is decided at the evaluation, from your imaging and the tissue involved — not from a web page.
