Winter sports can be a lot of fun – except, of course, if they result in an injury.
From skiing to skating to snowboarding, wrist sprains and fractures are common injuries among sports enthusiasts during the winter. You may be wondering whether you will need to have surgery in order to achieve complete pain relief, but the good news is that you can safely and effectively treat your wrist pain through physician-administered oxygen-ozone therapy.
Let’s talk about how this special injection therapy can greatly reduce or eliminate your joint pain without surgery, and where in Caldwell you can find a skilled doctor who can help you find relief – so you can heal quickly and get back on the slopes.
An Effective Solution for Joint Pain and Muscle Pain
Ozone (O3) is a naturally occurring atmospheric gas – it is also a super-charged molecule that has been used in medicine for more than a century. Its chemical structure simply consists of three atoms of oxygen, it is relatively colorless, and – when injected or administered intravenously – it has many therapeutic effects for a host of diseases and health problems, including joint pain, musculoskeletal injuries, and muscle pain and spasms.
Medical ozone injections are performed in a doctor’s office. They can safely and successfully relieve your wrist pain, as well as many other conditions, including:
- Herniated disc
- Back pain
- Neck pain
- Arthritis
- A weak immune system
What Wrist Problems Can Be Helped by Ozone Therapy?
A physician who focuses on regenerative medicine can administer ozone injections to reduce your pain after sustaining a wrist injury, including from the following causes:
- Sudden impacts, such as when you fall forward onto your outstretched hand.
- Repetitive stress, caused by repetitive wrist motions when performing a movement over and over again without a break. This causes inflammation of the tissues surrounding and supporting the joints, and it can also cause tiny stress fractures in your wrist.
- Osteoarthritis, which occurs when the cartilage that cushions the ends of your bones in a joint deteriorates over time. This can happen to both active adults and young athletes.
- Rheumatoid arthritis, which is triggered by your body’s immune system attacking its own synovial tissues.
- Carpal tunnel syndrome, which is caused by pressure on the median nerve that runs through a passageway (tunnel) in your wrist. This is essentially a type of pinched nerve.
- Ganglion cyst, which is a lump that can develop on the part of your wrist that is opposite your palm.
