Mommy Thumb (De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis)

Mommy Thumb (De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis)

Are you a new mother or someone who frequently lifts babies and experiencing pain on the thumb side of your wrist? This could be Mommy Thumb, also known as De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis. It happens due to repetitive lifting, wrist overuse, or hormonal changes after pregnancy.

Common symptoms include pain while gripping, lifting, or twisting objects, swelling near the base of the thumb, and difficulty moving the wrist. Left untreated, it can worsen and interfere with daily tasks.

Physiotherapy plays a vital role in managing Mommy Thumb. Treatment includes activity modification, thumb spica splinting, ultrasound or laser therapy to reduce pain and inflammation, and gentle stretching. Once pain reduces, strengthening exercises for the wrist and thumb help restore function and prevent recurrence.
