THUMB PAIN TREATMENT​

​​

Thumb pain can make simple tasks like opening jars, texting, writing, or gripping everyday objects more difficult than they should be. At Bayview North, we take the time to understand what's contributing to your symptoms by assessing your thumb, hand, wrist, and movement patterns. From there, we'll create a personalized treatment plan designed to improve function, reduce discomfort, and help you return to your daily activities more comfortably.

WHAT CAUSES THUMB PAIN?​​​​

​​​​​​

Thumb pain can develop for many different reasons. Common causes include arthritis at the base of the thumb, tendon conditions such as De Quervain's tenosynovitis, repetitive strain from gripping or texting, and injuries that affect the joints, muscles, or tendons of the thumb and hand. Because several conditions can produce similar symptoms, a thorough assessment is an important part of determining what's contributing to your discomfort and choosing the most appropriate treatment.

COMMON ​SYMPTOMS WE SEE​​​ 

 

• Pain at the base of the thumb

• Discomfort when gripping or pinching

• Stiffness and swelling in the joint

• Noticeable weakness in the hand

• Difficulty opening jars or holding heavy objects
