Basal Joint Arthritis and the Breakthrough of SoftWave Therapy

Basal joint arthritis, a common form of osteoarthritis, affects the thumb's base and can significantly hinder daily activities due to pain and mobility issues. At Cedar Park Chiropractic, led by Dr. Jeff Swanson, we are at the forefront of utilizing SoftWave Therapy, a revolutionary, non-surgical treatment that offers significant benefits over traditional methods. This blog explores basal joint arthritis, its traditional treatments, and the advantages of SoftWave Therapy.

Understanding Basal Joint Arthritis

Basal joint arthritis occurs at the base of the thumb, where the thumb meets the wrist. It often results from wear and tear on the joint, leading to inflammation, pain, and decreased mobility.

Causes and Symptoms

The primary cause is the deterioration of the cartilage that cushions the ends of the bones in the joint.

Common symptoms include:

• Pain and tenderness at the base of the thumb

• Swelling and stiffness in the thumb

• Decreased strength and range of motion

• Difficulty with tasks involving gripping or pinching

Traditional Medical Treatments

Traditional treatments for basal joint arthritis often involve a combination of medication, splinting, and in severe cases, surgery or steroid injections. While these methods can provide temporary relief, they often come with side effects and don’t always effectively address the underlying condition.

SoftWave Therapy: A Non-Surgical, Non-Injection Solution

SoftWave Therapy stands out as a superior choice for treating basal joint arthritis. This non-invasive therapy promotes natural healing, offering a safe and effective alternative to surgery and injections.

How SoftWave Therapy Works

Using electrohydraulic supersonic acoustic waves, SoftWave Therapy stimulates the body’s natural healing processes. These waves penetrate deep into the tissues, enhancing blood circulation and stimulating cellular repair processes.

Advantages of SoftWave Therapy

Non-Surgical and Non-Injection: SoftWave Therapy offers a treatment option that is both non-surgical and free from injections, reducing the risks and recovery time associated with more invasive procedures.

Decreased Pain and Inflammation: 

The therapy is effective in reducing the pain and inflammation associated with basal joint arthritis, offering relief without the use of medications.

Improved Blood Flow and Circulation: 

By promoting angiogenesis, SoftWave Therapy enhances blood flow to the affected area, which is crucial for healing and reducing symptoms.

Stem Cell Activation for Repair and Regeneration: 

The therapy activates stem cells, encouraging the repair and regeneration of damaged tissues in the joint.

Improved Mobility: 

Patients often experience improved mobility in the thumb, enabling them to perform daily activities with less pain and difficulty.

Comparing SoftWave Therapy with Traditional Treatments

SoftWave Therapy offers distinct advantages over traditional treatments for basal joint arthritis. While conventional methods focus on symptom management, SoftWave Therapy targets the root cause of the condition, promoting long-term healing and recovery.
