Is De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis treatment right for you?

If you have pain on the thumb side of your wrist, especially when gripping, pinching, or lifting, you may have De Quervain’s tenosynovitis. This treatment is appropriate for early to moderate stages. In more advanced cases, co-management with a hand specialist may be recommended.

What is De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis treatment?

De Quervain’s treatment targets inflammation and irritation of the tendons that extend the thumb.
