De Quervain’s – Swelling of the thumb tendon

At Action Rehab our staff are skilled at treating the pain and dysfunction de Quervain’s tenosynovitis can cause. Onset of this condition can be sudden or gradual. Usually, it is brought on by a change in activity with the hand (e.g. some new mothers experience as they need to lift their baby frequently) or a new job task that involves motions such as grasping, pinching, squeezing or wringing.
