Hand & Wrist pain
Restoring hand and wrist function
Conditions like arthritis, tendonitis, and ligament tears can significantly affect the function and dexterity of the hands and wrists, making it hard to grip, type, lift or play.
Dr. Movva uses musculoskeletal ultrasound to see the small structures of the hand and wrist in real time and deliver treatment precisely where it is needed.

Stem cell therapy (BMAC)
Bone marrow concentrate may be considered for arthritis and ligament injuries of the hand and wrist, placed precisely under ultrasound guidance.
Each treatment is performed by Dr. Venkatesh Movva with ultrasound or X-ray guidance to ensure accurate placement.
Before surgery or steroids
Why consider regenerative injections first?
For hand and wrist pain, traditional options often involve corticosteroid injections or surgical procedures such as ligament reconstruction or joint fusion. Steroid injections may temporarily reduce inflammation but do not heal the underlying tissue, and repeated use can weaken it. Surgery can be effective in some cases but often requires a lengthy recovery and carries risks of complications.
Regenerative injection procedures provide a minimally invasive alternative that focuses on preserving and repairing tissue. By encouraging natural healing, these therapies may reduce pain, improve mobility, and help patients delay or avoid major surgery.
Recovery timeline
What to expect after treatment
All patients go home the same day. Mild soreness at the bone marrow collection site and injection areas is common for several days, as the healing process begins with a natural inflammatory response.
-
First few days
Mild soreness or stiffness is typical.
-
Weeks 2–6
Gradual improvement in pain, mobility, and daily function.
-
Months 2–6
Continued healing as stem cells and growth factors support tissue repair.

Individual results vary. Patient testimonials describe personal experiences and are not a guarantee of outcome for any other patient.
Am I a candidate for regenerative orthopedic treatment?
Candidates are typically individuals seeking non-surgical options for joint pain, sports injuries, tendon or ligament damage, or degenerative orthopedic conditions. Your physician will determine whether regenerative treatment is appropriate based on your diagnosis, imaging findings, and overall health.
What is recovery like after treatment?
Recovery is typically much shorter than traditional orthopedic surgery. All patients go home the same day and gradually resume normal daily activities based on their physician's recommendations and individualized rehabilitation plan.
How long before I notice improvement?
Healing is a gradual biological process. Some patients begin noticing improvement within several weeks, while others continue to experience progress over several months as damaged tissues respond to regenerative treatment.
