Non-Surgical Hand and Wrist Pain Treatment in Manchester and Glasgow
Ortho Remedy Clinic treats hand and wrist pain, including trigger finger, hand osteoarthritis and De Quervain's tenosynovitis, without surgery, using PRP and guided injections at our Manchester and Glasgow clinics. Treatment is provided by orthopaedic surgeon Dr Armughan Azhar, a member of the British Society for Hand Surgery, giving patients specialist-level care for a part of the body that affects almost every daily task.
Hand and Wrist Conditions We Treat
Hand Osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis in the hand causes stiffness, swelling and aching in the finger joints or base of the thumb, often making gripping and fine movements difficult. Regenerative treatment aims to reduce inflammation and ease pain without surgery.
Trigger Finger and Trigger Thumb
This condition causes a finger or thumb to catch, click or lock when bending, due to inflammation around the tendon. Guided injections are highly effective at reducing this inflammation and restoring smooth movement.
De Quervain's Tenosynovitis
This causes pain and swelling along the thumb side of the wrist, often triggered by repetitive gripping or twisting movements. Guided injections and regenerative treatment reduce inflammation around the affected tendons.
Wrist Pain from Repetitive Strain
Ongoing wrist pain from repetitive movement at work, in sport or from everyday tasks often responds well to targeted regenerative treatment combined with activity advice.
Post-Injury Hand and Wrist Pain
Persistent pain following a sprain, fracture or previous injury to the hand or wrist can often be eased with regenerative treatment, even where the original injury happened some time ago.
Hand Pain Treatment For Better Hand And Wrist Movements And Functionality
What Is It?
Most hand and wrist discomfort occurrences are not indicative of a significant or long-term condition and will heal by itself in several days with some easy self-care hand pain relief home remedies and you won’t require any extensive hand pain treatment. Several illnesses, including arthritis, can trigger pain or other sensations/discomfort in the hands and wrists. Each hand and wrist is made up of 27 tiny bones.
Your wrist has eight of those bones. Each finger and thumb have three bones, but the thumb only has two. The palms of your hand contain five bones that link each finger and thumb to the wrist. More than 30 muscles control the hand and wrist.
Tendons connect muscles to bones. These are modest yet tenacious swaths of fibrous tissue. Any infection, disease or deformity in these small but essential parts of your hands can trigger pain and reduced mobility, and that’s why it must be appropriately addressed with hand pain treatment in Manchester.
We now utilise keyboards, phones, and mouse pads regularly. This puts a lot of strain/stress on our wrists, causing them to wear out. To regain your wrist’s function and movement, regenerative therapies use cells that can mend the injured area and create new tissues. The operation is minimally invasive, and there is no chance of rejection because these cells are derived from your own body. On the other hand, steroids and operations are accompanied by severe dangers and may only temporarily hide the pain, leading to the likelihood of growing new issues. Contact us today to know how our regenerative therapies can help to get relief from shoulder, knee, elbow, foot, hip, and hand pain.
What Conditions Can Be Addressed With Our Regenerative Therapies?
We here at Ortho Remedy offer regenerative hand pain treatment and therapies for the following conditions.
Trigger finger most commonly affects the ring and thumb, although it can also impact other fingers. The syndrome is known as the “trigger thumb” when the thumb is implicated. Flexor tendons are long and thick cord-like fibres that link the forearm muscles to the finger bones.
The flexor tendons enable the fingertips to extend when the muscle lengthens. Each flexor tendon travels via a tube in the palm and fingers, allowing it to slide effortlessly as the finger flexes and tightens. The tube is known as the “tendon sheath.” The flexor tendons are held tightly to the finger bones by bands of tissue termed “pulleys” that run along the tendon sheath. As the finger’s bends, the tendons travel through the pulleys. The pulley near the tip of the finger is referred to as the “A1 pulley.” This has been the most common affected or damaged pulley in trigger finger.
The A1 pulley becomes irritated or swollen in a trigger finger patient, rendering it difficult for the flexor tendon to slide past it when the finger bends. The flexor tendon could also become swollen and grow a tiny lump on its surface over time. There is a catching or popping feeling when the finger bends and the nodule slides through the pulley. This is frequently painful.
One more reason why you might need hand and wrist pain treatment is hand osteoarthritis. The hand and wrist feature several tiny joints that work collectively to create motion, such as the delicate motion required to thread a needle or knot a piece of string. When the joints are damaged by arthritis, ordinary tasks might become challenging. Arthritis may develop in various locations of the hand and wrist and can be caused by several factors. If arthritis is not addressed, the bones that make up the joint might lose their typical structure over time. This increases the discomfort and inhibits movement even further. Arthritis is just swelling of one or more of your joints. There are about 100 distinct varieties of arthritis, with osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis being the most frequent.
When disease causes arthritis, the symptoms appear gradually, and the cartilage degrades gradually. Osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis are two most frequent types of arthritis caused by illness. Osteoarthritis is far more frequent and primarily affects the elderly. Osteoarthritis, occasionally known as “wear and tear” arthritis, leads cartilage to wear away. It arises in some joints in a regular sequence. Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic disease/condition that impacts many different body sections. It leads the joint lining (synovium) to expand, resulting in joint discomfort and stiffness. Rheumatoid arthritis usually begins in the tiny joints of the hands and feet.
Tendinosis is defined as a swelling of the tendons. Tendon and tendon sheath inflammation can produce discomfort and soreness along the thumb side of the wrist. This is most visible while making a fist, clutching or holding something, or rotating the wrist. Overuse may be the cause of De Quervain’s tendinosis. It is also linked to pregnancy and rheumatoid arthritis. It is persistent among women in their forties and fifties and a common issue for which women look for hand and wrist pain treatments. There may be pain on the thumb side of the wrist. This is the most severe symptom. The discomfort might come on gradually or unexpectedly. The hand pain starts in the wrist and spreads up the forearm. When the hand and thumb are used, the discomfort is frequently severe. This is especially evident when grabbing something with force or twisting the wrist.
