De Quervain Syndrome: Relief & Rehabilitation at Vision Physiotherapy Center

De Quervain Syndrome (also known as De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis) is a painful condition affecting the tendons on the thumb side of your wrist. It occurs when the protective sheath surrounding these tendons becomes irritated or inflamed, causing pain, swelling, and difficulty with hand or wrist movements.

Common signs include tenderness near the base of the thumb, a “catching” or snapping sensation when moving the wrist, and difficulty gripping or holding objects. Without proper care, the condition can progress and cause chronic discomfort. Early consultation with a qualified physiotherapist can help restore mobility and prevent recurring strain.
