Chiropractor & Physical Therapy for De Quervain’s Syndrome Treatment in Carrollton, TX
De Quervain’s Syndrome occurs when the tendons that provide motion and action to the thumb become inflamed. These fluid-filled tendons that are housed within a tendon sheath are called synovium. When the synovium becomes inflamed, this is called tenosynovitis. The muscles in this area are on the radius (thumb side) of the forearm, right above the wrist, and cross over the wrist and into the thumb.
What are the Symptoms of De Quervain's Syndrome?
De Quervain's Syndrome can result in swelling in this area, and pain in the thumb and wrist with certain wrist motions, like picking things up or squeezing/pinching objects. If there is enough inflammation, there will be an audible squeaking noise as the synovial sheaths glide against each other.
Chiropractic Treatment & Physical Therapy Can Help
Chiropractic treatment and physical therapy can help with De Quervain's Syndrome symptoms.
A chiropractor will perform soft tissue and bony palpation to assess the range of motion within the thumb and wrist. Once a baseline is established, your chiropractor will walk you through different stretches and exercises. He could even perform small adjustments to the area. As strength is gained and symptoms improve, your treatment will be adjusted to accommodate.
Physical therapy can also be highly effective for managing De Quervain's Syndrome symptoms.
A physical therapist will start by evaluating your wrist and thumb, checking for swelling, tenderness, and limitations in movement. From there, they will guide you through targeted stretches and strengthening exercises designed to reduce pain and improve function. Your therapist may also use techniques such as soft tissue mobilization, gentle manual therapy, or supportive taping to help relieve stress on the affected tendons. As your symptoms improve and your strength increases, your treatment plan will be adjusted to keep you progressing safely.
