Carpal tunnel syndrome
Carpal tunnel syndrome is one of the most common conditions affecting people who work with their hands all the time. It occurs when the median nerve, which passes through the carpal tunnel in the wrist, is compressed, causing numbness, tingling and weakness in the movements of the hand and fingers. Treatment ranges from immobilization with splints to surgery to relieve pressure on the nerve.
Osteoarthritis
This is a degenerative condition in which the cartilage covering the joints wears away, causing pain, stiffness and discomfort in the natural movement of the hand. Physiotherapy, medication and, in some cases, surgery are recommended to treat this problem.
Tendon damage
Injury that can be caused by a traumatic event or wear and tear due to repetitive use. It is characterized by persistent pain of moderate to high intensity during activity. Physiotherapy, rest and immobilization help in some cases. In others, surgery is required.
Wrist sprains or tears
These occur when the ligaments that form part of the joint are stretched or torn by trauma. Treatment ranges from immobilization with a splint to surgery in much more serious cases. For less complex cases, rest, physiotherapy, ice and medicines to reduce inflammation are used.
Chronic wrist pain
Mismanagement of previous injuries, arthritis or fibromyalgia can lead to persistent acute pain in this joint. Consultation with medical and physiotherapy professionals is important for treatment through procedures and medication.
Our therapeutic options
In all cases, depending on the severity of the condition, the acute or chronic nature of the condition, the patient’s baseline condition and medical, toxic or allergic history, whether or not the patient is scheduled for a surgical correction or has already undergone one, and the time elapsed since it was performed, therapeutic options can be proposed to complement conventional treatments, favoring an earlier and more efficient recovery and rehabilitation, with less sequelae and providing tools to generate in many cases, a regenerative effect that may eventually stop or reverse chronic degenerative and inflammatory conditions.
Among these therapeutic options we have the use of platelet-derived growth factors, known as platelet-rich plasma (PRP), which in our case, we enrich with exosomes that are factors produced by stem cells to generate much of its action. Also the use alone or in combination of exosomes, the application of ozone (O3), hyaluronic acid, local anesthetics for the realization of blocks, drugs such as traumeel or zeel t and of course the use of stem cells. These can be used alone or in combination with intravenous infusions of vitamins, minerals and others, depending on the patient’s condition and desire.
Tools such as hyperbaric oxygenation therapy (hyperbaric chamber), infrared sauna and frequency specific microcurrent (FSM) are also available.
All these strategies, depending on the case, could be performed with an ultrasound- guided application, thus improving the precision in the application and therefore its effectiveness and reducing the possibility of adverse effects and/or complications.
