Wimmer Regenerative Orthopedics evaluates wrist pain in Bonita Springs, FL, and treats selected conditions — tendinitis, De Quervain's tenosynovitis, and arthritis-related pain — non-surgically. Options considered after evaluation include Wharton's Jelly with mesenchymal stem cells, PRP, peptides, and image-guided injections, with focused shockwave where appropriate. Fractures and severe carpal tunnel receive an honest, prompt referral to the right specialist.

Wrist conditions we treat
Arthritis
Wrist and thumb-base joints wear like any other — non-surgical options help reduce pain and protect grip and function.

De Quervain's and wrist tendinitis from grip-heavy sport and work — targeted, non-surgical tendon care.

Racquet sports, golf, and gym overuse can inflame the wrist — care built to get you gripping and swinging again.

Ranked as a practical clinical reference — what's most common varies with age and activity level. Here's how these conditions are typically approached:
| Condition | What it is |
|---|---|
| Carpal tunnel syndrome | Pinched median nerve at the wrist |
| Wrist sprain | Stretched or torn wrist ligaments |
| Distal radius fracture | Broken forearm bone at the wrist |
| Scaphoid fracture | Broken small wrist bone — easy to miss |
| De Quervain's tenosynovitis | Irritated thumb-side tendon sheath |
| Ganglion cyst | Fluid-filled lump over the joint |
| Wrist arthritis | Cartilage wear in the wrist |
| TFCC tear | Pinky-side cartilage-complex tear |
| Wrist tendinitis / tenosynovitis | Irritated wrist tendons |
| Kienböck disease | Lost blood supply to a wrist bone |
“Non-surgical” options are always individualized after an evaluation. Conditions marked surgical or urgent receive an honest, prompt referral — that's how we practice.
What commonly causes wrist pain?
- Carpal tunnel syndrome — numbness and tingling in the fingers
- Tendinitis and De Quervain's tenosynovitis
- Wrist sprains from falls and sport
- Arthritis at the wrist and base of the thumb
- Overuse from racquet sports, golf, and the gym
How is wrist pain evaluated?
Your visit begins with an in-office evaluation, with imaging — ultrasound or fluoroscopy — when it's needed, so we can see the area clearly. Occasionally we'll arrange additional imaging elsewhere. From there, Derek builds a personalized, honest plan — and walks you through the options for your situation.
Which non-surgical treatments help wrist pain?
- Wharton's Jelly with mesenchymal stem cells — an umbilical-derived allograft — an emerging non-surgical option, considered only for selected patients after evaluation
- PRP — platelet-rich plasma to support tendon recovery where appropriate
- Peptides — targeted peptides such as BPC-157, where appropriate for recovery support
- Injections — precise delivery to small wrist structures under image guidance
- Focused shockwave therapy — for stubborn tendinopathy
- Splinting & activity guidance — so irritated structures get a real chance to settle
- The full regenerative program — how these options fit together, and how candidacy is reviewed for you individually
When should you seek care?
Numbness or tingling that wakes you at night is a classic carpal tunnel sign, and a fall onto an outstretched hand deserves prompt evaluation — scaphoid fractures are notoriously easy to miss on the day of injury. For general reference, see MedlinePlus's wrist injuries and disorders guide.
Terms to know
- PRP
- Platelet-rich plasma, prepared from a patient's own blood to concentrate platelets for an injection.
- Image-guided injection
- An injection performed while the clinician uses real-time imaging to see the treatment area.
- Ultrasound
- Imaging that uses sound waves to show soft tissue and guide selected procedures.
