Inflamed tendons at the base of the thumb.
De Quervain's Tenosynovitis is a common condition in which the tendons that extend and straighten the thumb become inflamed. Pain is typically felt at the base of the thumb and the wrist.
It's often associated with repetitive tasks such as wringing or scissoring motions. Treatment options include rest, splinting, and rehabilitation; surgery is rarely necessary, though a steroid injection is sometimes used.
Calming the tendon and correcting repetitive strain.
Treatment combines hands-on care to reduce tendon irritation with a stretching and strengthening program, along with guidance on modifying the repetitive motions behind the condition.
