De Quervain's Tenosynovitis Taping Technique

De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis is a painful condition which affects two tendons on the thumb side of the wrist. Inflammation of the tendons and tenosynovium is known as tenosynovitis. In De Quervain’s, the inflammation affects the movement of the thumb.
De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis is usually caused from overuse or poor hand and wrist posture. Repetitive thumb motions such as pinching, squeezing or grasping can also cause the condition. So too can holding your hand at an angle which compresses the tunnel and rubs the tendon.
Common De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis symptoms include:
Soreness of the forearm, near the wrist
Pain in the wrist and thumb
Burning sensation in the hand
Swelling over the thumb side of the wrist
Difficulty gripping
A physical examination of the area is the first step in assessing De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis. From here, your Melbourne Hand Rehab hand therapy practitioner will probably conduct specialised tendon testing.
Treatment for De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis most commonly includes:
Splinting
Avoiding aggravation to reduce inflammation
Education around avoiding sideways movements of the wrist and thumb
Therapeutic taping may also be a useful modality in relieving pain, improving strength, and restoring the function of patients with De Quervain's Tenosynovitis. The tape can help as a support to relieve the tendon and thumb movements.
If you are experiencing finger, hand or wrist pain, don’t hesitate to get in touch. We’d love to help you.
