Non-Surgical Orthopedic Intervention for Hand & Wrist Pain in Atlanta

Yes, basal joint (CMC) arthritis is one of the most common conditions we treat. We use high-concentration bone marrow concentrate or platelets to help stabilize the joint and reduce inflammation. This offers a non-surgical alternative to traditional procedures that involve removing the bone or fusing the joint.

Absolutely. Arthritis in the fingers can severely limit grip strength and dexterity. Procedures using Regenexx injectates are designed to introduce high concentrations of repair cells into these small joints, helping to reduce pain and improve mobility so you can return to daily tasks like typing, gripping, or opening jars.

Yes. The TFCC is a complex structure that acts like a meniscus for the wrist. Regenexx providers use advanced imaging to place high concentrations of platelets or bone marrow concentrate directly into tears in the TFCC or scapholunate ligament to support the body’s natural healing process.

Yes. We use a specialized procedure called nerve hydrodissection. Using high-resolution ultrasound, we carefully inject platelet lysate around the median nerve to release pressure and improve blood flow. This can reduce numbness and tingling without cutting the transverse carpal ligament.

Regenexx treatments are injection-based and performed in-office, meaning there are no incisions and no removal of bone or ligaments. This preserves the natural anatomy of the hand and typically results in significantly less downtime and fewer risks compared to surgeries like carpal tunnel release or joint replacement.

Steroids can mask pain temporarily but may degrade cartilage and tendons over time. Standard PRP often uses low concentrations created by bedside machines. Regenexx uses a manual lab process to create much higher, customizable concentrations of your body’s repair agents, designed to support long-term tissue health rather than just masking symptoms.

Because there are no surgical incisions, recovery is relatively quick. Most patients experience mild soreness for a few days but can perform light activities almost immediately. You avoid the cast immobilization and long rehabilitation often associated with hand surgery.

You can usually return to light typing and basic hand use within a day or two. However, heavy gripping, lifting, or repetitive twisting motions may need to be restricted for a few weeks to allow the treated area to strengthen. Your physician will provide a specific protocol based on your condition.

Yes, in many cases, hand therapy is recommended to help restore range of motion and strengthen the small muscles of the hand and wrist. A therapist can also help you correct the movement patterns or ergonomic issues that may have contributed to the injury in the first place.
