Conventional Treatments May Offer Temporary Relief, Not a Long-Term Solution
For hand and wrist issues such as carpal tunnel syndrome, osteoarthritis or tendon tears, common treatments like physical therapy, anti-inflammatory medications, and corticosteroid injections may offer temporary relief by reducing pain and inflammation. Unfortunately, these approaches often do not address the root causes of the pain, which means pain may persist or even worsen over time if underlying tissue or joint issues remain untreated.
When conservative care or common treatments no longer offer enough relief, surgery is often suggested. However, procedures like joint fusion or tendon repair come with challenges, including a lengthy recovery period, limited hand or wrist mobility, and potential complications like infection or stiffness. While surgery can reduce pain, it may not fully restore function. After hand or wrist surgery, some people may experience lingering stiffness or changes in the joint over time that may require further treatment or additional surgery.
Fortunately, there are alternative treatments that reduce the need for surgery.
