Aug 19, 2015
Many people suffer from the effects of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) every day. The pain, numbness, and loss of functionality can have a negative impact on a person’s day-to-day activities. Thankfully, there are treatment options available to help reduce the symptoms of carpal tunnel and treat the condition in the long-run. In this article, we are going to focus on PRP Therapy for treating carpal tunnel syndrome and its symptoms.
Carpal tunnel syndrome is a painful condition in which the nerves that run through the wrist and into the fingers are impacted. These nerves run through a small channel called the carpal tunnel, and provide feeling and control to the hands and fingers. When these nerves are pinched or otherwise effected, the results are not good. Common symptoms of carpal tunnel can include any or all of the following:
If you recognize any of these symptoms in yourself, you may have CTS and should seek medical attention for diagnosis and treatment.
Traditional treatments for carpal tunnel include pain medications, wearing a brace, and surgery. The more conservative treatment options typically only provide short-term relief. Surgery can be an effective treatment, but it is invasive, painful, and requires time to recover. Regenerative medicine therapies, on the other hand, offer an effective alternative to surgery for CTS. PRP injections use your own blood platelets to stimulate regrowth and pain reduction in carpal tunnel. Best of all, the procedure is quick, pain-free, and effective.
If you are suffering from the symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome and have tried other treatments with no luck, contact a regenerative medicine expert to see how PRP therapy can help.
