Wrist Joint Injection (Steroid, PRP, Hyaluronic Acid)

Alleviate wrist pain and improve mobility with advanced wrist joint injections at CDL Rehabilitation.

What Wrist Joint Injection (Steroid, PRP, Hyaluronic Acid) Are

Wrist joint injections are a treatment that involves injecting steroids, PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma), or hyaluronic acid into the wrist joint to reduce inflammation, promote healing, and alleviate pain.

Treatment Description

This procedure targets the wrist joint to provide relief from pain and inflammation. Steroid injections reduce inflammation, PRP promotes tissue healing, and hyaluronic acid improves lubrication in the joint, restoring function.

What It Includes

The procedure includes the injection of corticosteroids, PRP, or hyaluronic acid into the wrist joint under imaging guidance (such as ultrasound or fluoroscopy) to ensure accurate placement. Sessions usually last 15-30 minutes.

Disorders treated

What Are Wrist Joint Injection (Steroid, PRP, Hyaluronic Acid) Used For?

Wrist joint injections are effective for treating conditions like osteoarthritis, tendonitis (e.g., De Quervain’s tenosynovitis), carpal tunnel syndrome, wrist sprains or strains, and post-surgical pain.

Osteoarthritis
Eases pain, stiffness, and swelling in the wrist joint caused by arthritis, improving mobility and reducing inflammation in the affected area.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Alleviates pressure on the median nerve in the wrist, reducing pain, numbness, and tingling in the hand caused by carpal tunnel syndrome.
Wrist Sprains and Strains
Helps manage pain and inflammation from wrist injuries, promoting healing and improving joint function.
Post-Surgical Pain
Reduces pain and swelling following wrist surgery, improving recovery time and promoting healing in the affected tissues.
Bursitis
Eases pain and swelling in the wrist bursa, improving joint mobility and reducing inflammation in conditions like wrist bursitis.
Ligament Injuries
Provides relief from pain and inflammation caused by ligament injuries in the wrist, improving strength and mobility during the recovery process.

Consequences of not treating disorders

Persistent Wrist Pain
Without wrist joint injections, chronic pain caused by inflammation or joint dysfunction may persist, affecting daily activities like writing or typing.
Reduced Range of Motion
Lack of treatment can lead to stiffness in the wrist, making it difficult to perform actions requiring flexibility or dexterity.
Prolonged Inflammation
Untreated wrist inflammation can worsen over time, causing greater discomfort and delaying recovery.
Weakness in the Hand
Failing to manage wrist pain can result in reduced grip strength and diminished hand functionality.
Risk of Chronic Joint Damage
Without timely intervention, joint issues may progress to long-term degeneration, potentially requiring invasive treatments in the future.
