De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis – Pain on the Thumb Side of Your Wrist?

Do you feel sharp pain while lifting your baby, texting, or turning a doorknob? You might be experiencing De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis, a common wrist condition caused by inflammation of the tendons controlling thumb movement.

This overuse injury is often seen in new mothers, smartphone users, and professionals with repetitive wrist motions. Symptoms include pain near the base of the thumb, swelling, and difficulty gripping objects. If untreated, it can progress and affect daily activities.

Physiotherapy focuses on reducing inflammation, restoring movement, and preventing recurrence. Treatments may include ultrasound therapy, laser therapy, kinesiotaping, and ergonomic correction, along with gentle thumb stretches and strengthening exercises.
