The human wrists and hands are intricate systems composed of bones, muscles, joints, tendons, ligaments, cartilage, and nerves, granting them range of motion and strength. This dexterity allows us to craft, build, and easily manipulate the world around us. However, this complexity also makes the wrists and hands susceptible to debilitating pain when its intricate components are compromised.
The wrist comprises an intricate network of bones, including the radius, ulna, and eight carpal bones. These elements work in unison to enable a wide range of movements, which are crucial for the functioning of the hand.
The hand consists of 27 bones, divided into three groups:
These bones, connected by joints, allow for a remarkable range of motion and precision grip.
Over 30 muscles, controlled by tendons and innervated by a network of nerves, work harmoniously to execute delicate and powerful movements. Ligaments provide stability, preventing excessive motion that could lead to injury.
Muscles, joints, and ligaments play a crucial role not only in wrist function but also in the overall functioning of the hand. They facilitate motion and provide stability, allowing us to grasp, hold, and manipulate objects precisely.
The wrist and hand house an extensive network of nerves that transmit sensory information and control hand movements. These nerves are essential for our ability to feel and manipulate objects.

While we have seen patients have long-standing relief after their initial injection series, this does vary from patient to patient depending on many factors, including how active a patient continues to be. Osteoarthritis is a chronic, degenerative condition and while we feel that regenerative medicine protocols are an outstanding way to combat the pain of this degenerative process, these treatments are not a cure for this condition.
This is an extremely important question. In our opinion, success isn’t just a matter of having less overall pain. We strive to improve your overall quality of life. Sure, this includes decreasing your pain levels, but we also want to see things like improved function, range of motion, improved sleep patterns, taking fewer medications (or lower doses), and being able to enjoy life more.
