What Are My Options for Managing Elbow, Hand, or Wrist Pain?

Traditional pain management, physical therapy, and surgery are all options for patients struggling with elbow, hand, or wrist pain. Less invasive interventional pain management therapies are also available to address the source of joint pain without surgery. Both surgical and non-surgical interventions can help with pain after a traumatic injury or due to chronic pain (persistent pain that lasts for a long time).

Non-invasive therapies involve injecting medication directly into the painful areas to numb and repair the joint.

Treatments for elbow, hand, and wrist pain may include (but are not limited to):

  • Corticosteroid injections
  • Surgical intervention
  • Slings, casts, wrist splints, braces, or other immobilizing options

Do You Offer Regenerative Medicine?

Along with more traditional interventional pain procedures, the Advanced Relief Institute also offers regenerative therapies. These include platelet-rich plasma therapy, amniotic fluid therapy, and stem cell injections to help heal and repair the body.

Is There a Recovery Period After Interventional Pain Management for My Elbow, Hand, or Wrist?

Most patients will not need significant recovery time after their pain management treatment. Depending on the treatment, some patients may experience minor numbness, swelling, redness, or discomfort for up to a week. Patients may need to secure their treated area for up to a week after therapy to prevent further damage as it heals.

Surgical intervention may require a longer recovery period, usually lasting a week or two based on the extent of the operation.
