Treatments for Sciatica with Stem Cell Therapy
At Stem Cell Specialists, we offer innovative stem cell treatments for carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), a common condition that can cause pain, numbness, and dysfunction in the hand and wrist. Carpal tunnel syndrome arises from pressure on the median nerve within the narrow carpal tunnel located in the wrist. This condition is frequently seen in people who perform repetitive motions with their hands, such as typing, but it can also result from genetics, injury, or other health issues like arthritis or diabetes.
Understanding Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Carpal tunnel syndrome involves the compression of the median nerve, which runs from the forearm into the palm of the hand, providing sensation to the thumb and first three fingers. When this nerve is compressed, it can lead to a variety of symptoms that affect hand function and overall quality of life.
Common Symptoms of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Stem cell therapy can potentially help alleviate the following symptoms associated with carpal tunnel syndrome:
- Numbness and Tingling: Patients often experience a numb feeling or a sensation of “pins and needles” in the fingers, especially the thumb, index, and middle fingers, which are typical symptoms of CTS.
- Hand Weakness: A weakening of the hand muscles may occur, making it difficult to grasp objects or perform tasks that require manual dexterity.
- Pain and Burning: These sensations may extend from the wrist up the arm, worsening at night and potentially interfering with sleep.
- Swelling: In some cases, swelling around the wrist can exacerbate the pressure on the median nerve.
How Does Stem Cell Therapy Work for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?
Stem cell therapy for carpal tunnel syndrome involves using the patient’s own stem cells to help reduce inflammation and promote the healing of nerve tissue. Here’s how it works:
- Harvesting and Injection: Stem cells are typically harvested from the patient’s bone marrow or adipose tissue. These cells are then processed and injected directly into the carpal tunnel area of the wrist.
- Regeneration and Repair: Stem cells have the potential to differentiate into various types of cells needed to repair damaged tissues, including nerves and supporting structures in the wrist.
- Reduction of Inflammation: Stem cells release substances that can modulate the immune system and reduce inflammation, which helps relieve pressure on the median nerve.
Benefits of Stem Cell Therapy for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
- Non-Surgical Alternative: Stem cell therapy provides a non-surgical treatment option for those seeking relief from CTS without the risks and downtime associated with surgery.
- Targeted and Effective: By addressing the underlying issues of inflammation and tissue damage, stem cell therapy can offer more effective and lasting relief compared to traditional treatments like corticosteroids or surgery.
- Quick Recovery: The procedure is minimally invasive, typically requiring only local anesthesia and allowing patients to return to their daily activities shortly after treatment.
