The Future of Basal Joint Arthritis Treatment: Non-Surgical Breakthrough with SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Therapy

Published December 1st, 2023 by First Choice Chiropractic

Basal Joint Arthritis: Understanding the Condition

Basal joint arthritis, affecting the thumb's base, can significantly impair hand function and dexterity. This condition often leads to pain, stiffness, and swelling in the wrist and hand, making everyday tasks challenging.

Anatomy of the Wrist and Hand in Context

The basal joint, also known as the carpometacarpal (CMC) joint, plays a pivotal role in the complex movements of the hand and thumb. It's this joint's unique structure and high degree of mobility that make it susceptible to arthritis, particularly in individuals engaged in repetitive hand movements or those with a history of joint injuries.

Traditional Medical Approaches: Injections and Surgery

Conventional treatments for basal joint arthritis typically involve corticosteroid injections to reduce inflammation and pain. In advanced cases, surgical intervention may be considered to remove or reconstruct the affected joint. While these methods can be effective, they come with potential risks and lengthy recovery periods.

Introducing SoftWave Therapy: A Breakthrough in Non-Surgical Treatment

At First Choice Chiropractic, Neurology, & Rehabilitation Center, Dr. Kurt Schichtl is leading the way with SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Therapy. This innovative treatment utilizes electrohydraulic supersonic acoustic waves, offering a non-surgical, non-injection, drug-free alternative for basal joint arthritis.

How SoftWave Therapy is Changing the Game

Key Benefits:
