Frequently asked questions

How do wrist and hand injections relieve pain?

Wrist & hand injections reduce inflammation from arthritis, tendon strain, or overuse injuries. Corticosteroid injections provide fast pain relief, while PRP / Stem Cell Injection can help with chronic tendon or ligament issues. By pairing treatment with Physical Therapy & Rehab, patients regain mobility, grip strength, and comfort for typing, lifting, or daily hand use—without relying on repetitive medication cycles or downtime.

What’s the treatment plan for thumb CMC arthritis?

Thumb CMC arthritis causes pain during gripping or pinching. We use splinting, Physical Therapy & Rehab, and guided Corticosteroid Joint Injection to ease flare-ups. When joint deformity progresses, surgical options may be discussed with our Orthopedics specialists. If tingling or numbness is the main symptom, Carpal Tunnel Release may provide lasting relief by decompressing the nerve and improving overall hand function and dexterity.

Can wrist or hand injections help with tendon pain?

Yes—PRP / Stem Cell Injection may support tendon healing when inflammation persists after therapy. For overuse injuries or mild tendinopathy, a targeted Corticosteroid Joint Injection can reduce swelling and restore grip control. Every plan includes Physical Therapy & Rehab to rebuild wrist stability and prevent recurrence. Most patients notice reduced stiffness and better movement within days of their injection procedure.

How do you know if pain is from arthritis or carpal tunnel syndrome?

Arthritis causes joint swelling and stiffness, while Carpal Tunnel Syndrome leads to numbness, tingling, or weakness. Our specialists assess movement patterns, nerve function, and imaging to pinpoint the cause. If compression is confirmed, Carpal Tunnel Release may restore nerve flow. When inflammation dominates, image-guided Corticosteroid Joint Injection plus Physical Therapy & Rehab offers rapid relief and long-term control.

What can I expect after a wrist or hand injection?

After a wrist or hand joint injection, mild soreness may occur for one to two days before pain relief begins. We provide recovery guidelines and gradual activity progressions through Physical Therapy & Rehab to restore full hand function. Most patients notice stronger grip and smoother motion within a week, allowing a safe return to typing, lifting, or work without recurring irritation.

Who performs wrist and hand injections at the Comprehensive Spine Center?

All injections are performed by fellowship-trained experts in Pain Management and Orthopedics using ultrasound guidance for accuracy. Our team designs personalized care plans that may include Physical Therapy & Rehab or, if nerve compression is significant, Carpal Tunnel Release for surgical correction. This approach ensures pain reduction, grip strength recovery, and improved daily comfort across all wrist and hand conditions.
