Hand and Wrist Tendinitis Relief in Charleston, SC: How SoftWave Therapy Is Changing Lives with Dr Jeremiah

If you're experiencing pain, stiffness, or swelling in your hand or wrist, and tasks like typing, gripping, or lifting have become difficult or painful, you may be suffering from tendinitis—a condition caused by inflammation and irritation of the tendons.

At Fix Your Pain Charleston, Dr. Jeremiah Jimerson offers a powerful, non-invasive solution for hand and wrist tendinitis: SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Therapy. This breakthrough technology helps patients relieve pain, restore mobility, and avoid the need for injections, splints, or surgery.

What Is Tendinitis of the Hand and Wrist?

Tendinitis occurs when a tendon—the fibrous tissue that connects muscle to bone—becomes inflamed due to overuse, trauma, or repetitive strain. The hand and wrist are especially vulnerable because they are used constantly for fine motor skills, gripping, and lifting.

Common types of hand and wrist tendinitis include:

  • Flexor or extensor tendinitis

  • De Quervain’s tenosynovitis (thumb-side wrist inflammation)

  • Intersection syndrome

  • ECU tendinitis (extensor carpi ulnaris)

  • Trigger finger-related tendon irritation

Common Causes and Risk Factors

  • Repetitive use (typing, texting, lifting)

  • Poor ergonomics or work habits

  • Sports involving racquets, weights, or gripping

  • Previous wrist or hand injuries

  • Arthritis or inflammatory joint conditions

  • Age-related degeneration of tendon tissue

Symptoms of Hand and Wrist Tendinitis

  • Localized pain or burning sensation

  • Swelling, especially near the wrist or base of the fingers

  • Stiffness or tightness after periods of rest

  • Weakness with grip or pinch

  • Tenderness over the tendon

  • Difficulty with fine motor tasks or repetitive hand motions

Traditional Treatment Options (and Their Drawbacks)

Typical treatments for tendinitis may include:

  • Rest or splinting

  • Ice and over-the-counter medications

  • Corticosteroid injections

  • Physical therapy

  • Surgery in severe or chronic cases

While some of these approaches can reduce symptoms, they often fail to address the root issue—which is damaged or degenerated soft tissue that needs regeneration.

How SoftWave Therapy Works for Tendinitis

SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Therapy is an FDA-cleared, non-invasive treatment that uses electrohydraulic supersonic acoustic waves to initiate a biological healing response in the affected tissues.

These waves penetrate deep into the hand and wrist to stimulate healing, repair, and regeneration without breaking the skin or causing tissue damage.

Key Scientific Benefits for Tendinitis:

  • Reduces inflammation by modulating toll-like receptors and interrupting chronic inflammatory cycles

  • Activates and recruits stem cells to repair micro-tears and tissue degeneration

  • Stimulates angiogenesis (new blood vessel formation) for improved circulation and nutrient delivery

  • Promotes collagen remodeling to restore tendon structure and strength

  • Breaks down scar tissue and adhesions that restrict movement

This comprehensive cellular response helps patients recover faster, with lasting results—not just symptom suppression.

What to Expect from Treatment with Dr. Jeremiah

Dr. Jeremiah Jimerson will begin with a thorough evaluation to determine the source of your pain and dysfunction. A typical SoftWave care plan for hand or wrist tendinitis includes:

  • 6 to 8 weekly SoftWave therapy sessions on average

  • Progress tracking for pain, grip strength, range of motion, and function

  • Tailored take-home recommendations for activity modification, hydration, and movement

  • Optional complementary therapies like Active Release Technique (ART) or red light therapy if clinically appropriate

Most patients report improvements within the first few sessions, including:

  • Decreased pain and swelling

  • Greater flexibility and grip strength

  • Improved ability to work, exercise, and complete daily tasks

  • Reduced need for braces, medications, or injections

Why Patients Are Choosing SoftWave Over Injections and Surgery

Patients with hand and wrist tendinitis are turning to SoftWave Therapy because it:

  • Promotes true tissue healing, not just symptom relief

  • Is non-invasive and drug-free, with no downtime

  • Targets the root cause of pain and dysfunction

  • Is supported by scientific research and clinical success

It’s trusted by leading orthopedic institutions and athletic organizations—including those caring for elite professional athletes.

Don’t Let Hand and Wrist Tendinitis Hold You Back

If tendinitis is limiting your ability to work, play, or live comfortably, SoftWave Therapy may be the breakthrough solution you’ve been looking for.
