🤌

De Quervain's Tenosynovitis

Inflammation of the thumb-side tendons causes sharp pain with gripping and thumb movement. Common in new parents and those with repetitive hand use.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can physiotherapy treat carpal tunnel syndrome? ▾
Yes — physiotherapy is an effective non-surgical treatment for carpal tunnel, particularly in mild to moderate cases. Treatment includes neural mobilisation, splinting and activity modification.
How long does a wrist injury take to heal? ▾
Most soft tissue wrist injuries improve within 4–8 weeks with appropriate physiotherapy. More complex conditions may take longer.
Do I need surgery for a TFCC tear? ▾
Not always. Many TFCC tears are managed successfully with physiotherapy and splinting. Your physiotherapist will refer to a hand specialist if surgical intervention is indicated.
