What is DeQuervains Tenosynovitis?
De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis is a painful condition that affects the tendons on the thumb side of the wrist. It occurs when the tendons that control the movement of the thumb become inflamed and irritated as they pass through a narrow tunnel-like structure called the tendon sheath. This inflammation can lead to discomfort, pain, and limited mobility in the wrist and thumb. Commonly known as “washerwoman’s sprain” due to its historical association with repetitive tasks, De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis often results from repetitive motions or activities that strain the tendons. Individuals affected by this condition may experience pain, swelling, and a sensation of “catching” or “snapping” when moving the thumb. De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis can impact daily activities that involve gripping, pinching, or lifting, making diagnosis and proper treatment crucial to managing symptoms and restoring hand function.

Conservative Measures:
For mild cases, we often recommend non-surgical approaches such as:
Rest and Activity Modification: Temporarily avoiding activities that exacerbate symptoms can promote healing.
Immobilization: Wrist splints can help rest the affected tendons and reduce inflammation.
Ice and Anti-Inflammatory Medications: These can provide relief from pain and swelling.
- Physical Therapy: Our skilled therapists create tailored exercise programs to improve thumb and wrist mobility, strengthen supporting muscles, and reduce discomfort.
- Corticosteroid Injections: In cases where conservative methods are insufficient, our doctors administer targeted corticosteroid injections to reduce inflammation and alleviate pain.
- Minimally Invasive Procedures: When needed, our skilled medical team can perform minimally invasive procedures, such as corticosteroid injections directly into the tendon sheath, to provide relief.
- Post-Procedure Rehabilitation: After any procedures, our rehabilitation experts guide you through a structured recovery plan to regain hand strength, mobility, and function.
- Ergonomic Education: We provide guidance on proper hand and wrist positioning during daily activities to prevent recurrence or exacerbation of symptoms.
- Patient Education: We believe in empowering patients with knowledge about De Quervain's Tenosynovitis, helping them understand its causes, management, and preventive measures.
