PROCEDURE
Before doctors try surgery to fix pain in your hands, wrists and elbows, they like to make sure they’ve tried other options first. Injection therapy is non-surgical treatment that help promote healing.
If you’re suffering from an injury to the ligaments or tendons in your hands, wrists or elbows, a injection therapy can speed up the healing process.
Dr. Durand may use an injection therapy with surgery to help you recover faster.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF USING INJECTION THERAPY?
- The procedure is minimally invasive.
- There’s minimal risk involved as the procedure consists of only using your own blood.
- Many patients can resume normal daily activities almost immediately after the procedure.
- Quicker recovery and rehabilitation time when compared to surgery.
HOW IS IT DONE
Injection therapy supports your body’s self-healing processes by using your own cells. Blood is mostly liquid but also contains solid component including red cells, white cells and platelets. The platelets are important for clotting blood but they also contain proteins called growth factors which are important in the healing of injuries.
With a higher concentration of growth factors than typically found in blood, injections therapy supports the restoration of injured tissue and inhibit painful inflammatory processes.
Injections therapy is quick procedure. At your appointment, Dr. Durand will draw a vial of blood from your uninjured arm. He then processes the blood through a device known as a centrifuge. It separates the different parts of your blood into layers.
Dr. Durand withdraws the vital portion of blood and combines it the remaining portion of blood. He may use an ultrasound to see inside your joint. This helps him guide the needle to the right place before injecting the platelets into the injury.

POTENTIAL RISKS AND COMPLICATIONS

RESULTS
You won’t feel immediate relief after the injection. You’ll probably feel some soreness in the joint for the first few days. Use a cold compress on the joint for 10 to 20 minutes at a time. This can help reduce pain. Your doctor may also give you a brace or sling to wear to limit movement of your arm.
