Stem Cell and PRP Procedures for Hand, Wrist, and Thumb Injuries, Arthritis, Sprains, and More
Pain in the hands or wrists can make daily activities challenging. Writing, typing, gripping a steering wheel, opening jars, or even turning a doorknob may become difficult. For some, pain is linked to repetitive stress at work, while for others it develops from arthritis or old injuries. Thumb arthritis in particular can make simple tasks like buttoning a shirt or holding a phone uncomfortable. Left untreated, hand and wrist pain can limit independence and quality of life.

How Regenerative Medicine May Help Hand and Wrist Injuries, Arthritis, and Other Painful Conditions
Conventional care for hand and wrist pain often includes splints, medications, physical therapy, or corticosteroid injections. While these may provide temporary relief, they do not encourage tissue repair. Regenerative treatments such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) are designed to promote healing. Using precise, image-guided injections, these therapies deliver concentrated platelets, growth factors, and regenerative cells directly into injured or arthritic areas of the hand or wrist to help reduce pain and improve function over time.
Hand & Wrist Treatment Options at RegenOrthoSport
- Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP): Platelets from your own blood are concentrated and injected to support tissue repair and reduce inflammation in tendons, ligaments, or joints.
- Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate (BMAC): Stem cells and growth factors harvested from your bone marrow are injected into the injured region to promote regeneration of cartilage, ligaments, and tendons.
Common Hand & Wrist Conditions Treated
- Thumb arthritis (basal joint arthritis)
- Hand and wrist osteoarthritis
- Carpal tunnel instability
- Tendon injuries or tendonitis
- Ligament sprains and partial tears
- Overuse injuries from work or sports

Targeted Regenerative Procedure for Thumb Basal Joint / CMC Arthritis and Other Hand / Wrist Conditions
Thumb CMC/Basal Joint Arthritis or Arthritis of the Hand Joints can appear early in life. The constant swiveling and pivoting motions of the basal joint, at the base of the thumb, tend to wear it out easily. While total joint reconstruction surgery may improve the condition for some, new problems in the thumb joint may develop over time, causing such symptoms as numbness, tenderness, or reduced range of motion.
This highly specialized, precise, image-guided injection procedure for CMC Arthritis and other injuries and conditions in the hand and wrist utilizes concentrated repair cells that are obtained from your own bone marrow or blood to promote your body’s own natural ability to heal.
Why Consider Regenerative Injections Before Surgery or Steroids?
Traditional approaches such as steroid injections may reduce inflammation temporarily but do not repair damaged tissue, and repeated use can cause weakening of the joint. Surgery, including joint fusion or thumb joint replacement, may reduce pain but also limits mobility and requires a lengthy recovery. Regenerative injections with PRP or BMAC focus on preserving natural tissue and encouraging healing. For many patients, this approach may reduce pain, improve strength and range of motion, and delay or even avoid surgery.

How Stem Cell Procedures and Platelet-Rich Plasma Injection Procedures Work
How Stem Cell Procedures Work
Stem cell injection procedures are a minimally invasive treatment designed to help the body repair orthopedic injuries and degenerative conditions. The process begins with collecting bone marrow, which contains stem cells, from the iliac crest of the pelvis. This sample is processed in a centrifuge to create bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC), which contains stem cells, growth factors, and other healing components.
Using precise ultrasound or X-ray guidance, the concentrate is injected directly into the injured or arthritic area. Once delivered, these cells release signals that reduce inflammation, encourage tissue repair, and stimulate long-term healing.
Unlike steroid injections or pain medications, which only mask symptoms, stem cell therapy attempts to target the root cause of pain. It is commonly used for arthritis, meniscus injuries, ligament sprains, and tendon damage, offering patients a potential alternative to surgery. Many experience gradual improvement in pain and mobility over the weeks to months following the procedure.
How Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Works
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) procedures are a regenerative treatment that uses your own blood to support healing in injured joints, tendons, and ligaments. The procedure begins with a blood draw, which is then placed in a centrifuge to separate and concentrate platelets. These platelets contain powerful growth factors that play a key role in tissue repair.
Once prepared, the PRP solution is precisely injected into the injured or painful area using ultrasound or X-ray guidance. The concentrated platelets release signals that stimulate natural healing, reduce inflammation, and encourage tissue regeneration.
Unlike cortisone injections, which typically provide temporary symptom relief, PRP is designed to promote long-term repair. It is often used for arthritis, tendon injuries such as tennis elbow or rotator cuff problems, ligament sprains, and sports-related conditions. Many patients experience gradual improvement in function and reduced pain over several weeks to months following treatment.
