Phoenix Hand Surgery offers specialized care for De Quervain’s tenosynovitis, providing effective treatment to alleviate pain and restore function. De Quervain’s tenosynovitis is a condition that affects the tendons on the thumb side of the wrist, causing pain and swelling. If you’re experiencing these symptoms, our experienced orthopedic surgeons are here to help you find relief and improve your quality of life.

What is De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis?

De Quervain’s tenosynovitis occurs when the tendons around the base of the thumb become inflamed, leading to pain and difficulty moving the thumb and wrist. This condition is often caused by repetitive hand or wrist movements, such as lifting, gripping, or pinching.

At Phoenix Hand Surgery, we offer a range of treatments tailored to the severity of your condition:

  1. Non-Surgical Treatments:

    • Medications: Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) to reduce pain and inflammation.
    • Splinting: Wearing a splint to immobilize the thumb and wrist, reducing strain on the tendons.
    • Steroid Injections: Corticosteroid injections to decrease inflammation and provide temporary relief.
    • Physical Therapy: Customized exercise programs to improve strength and flexibility in the thumb and wrist.
  2. Surgical Treatments:
