De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis Treatment

De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis is an inflammatory condition affecting the tendons on the thumb side of the wrist. Treatment typically involves a combination of rest, splinting, anti-inflammatory medications, and corticosteroid injections to reduce swelling and alleviate pain. Physical therapy may also be necessary to strengthen the wrist and improve the range of motion. In cases where conservative treatments do not provide relief, surgical intervention may be necessary to release the pressure on the tendons and provide long-term relief from symptoms.

Treating De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis in Billings, MT, is particularly effective for individuals who experience chronic wrist pain and swelling that interferes with daily activities such as grasping or pinching. Relief from symptoms is often noticeable within a few weeks of beginning treatment, primarily when interventions are implemented early in the course of the condition. There can be a variation in the duration of the benefits, depending on the severity of the condition and the treatment approach, but many patients experience significant long-term improvement.
