Elbow & Wrist Injuries

Elbow and wrist injuries from an accident can cause serious interruptions to your lifestyle, and they can also be painful and frustrating. Read below to find out what type of treatment can help you recover from a shoulder or wrist injury:

Physical Therapy

Physical therapy is key to recovering from an elbow or wrist injury. Licensed therapists design specific exercise programs to strengthen muscles and restore range of motion. Physical therapy can alleviate elbow and wrist pain, restore function, and prevent re-injury.

Medications

Over-the-counter pain relievers, such as acetaminophen or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), can help manage pain and inflammation associated with elbow and wrist injuries. Sometimes, corticosteroid injections are used to reduce inflammation and alleviate severe pain from elbow and wrist injuries.

Regenerative Medicine

Cutting-edge medical techniques such as platelet-rich plasma injections often provide significant pain relief and stimulate tissue repair for elbow and wrist injuries. Regenerative medical techniques aim to harness the body’s natural healing mechanisms to accelerate recovery and improve outcomes.

Surgery

Surgical intervention may be necessary for severe elbow and wrist injuries. Common elbow surgeries include arthroscopic procedures for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes, ligament reconstruction surgeries such as Tommy John surgery to stabilize the joint, and open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) for severe fractures. Wrist surgeries include carpal tunnel release to alleviate pressure on the median nerve, wrist arthroscopy for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes, and wrist fusion or ligament repair surgeries to stabilize the joint and restore function.
