Thumb Tendinitis
De Quervain's Tendinitis (De Quervain's Tendinosis)

De Quervain's tendinitis occurs when the tendons around the base of the thumb are irritated or constricted. The word "tendinitis" refers to a swelling of the tendons. Thickening of the tendons can cause pain and tenderness along the thumb side of the wrist. This is particularly noticeable when forming a fist, grasping or gripping things, or when turning the wrist.

Signs of De Quervain's tendinitis:

• Pain may be felt over the thumb side of the wrist. This is the main symptom. The pain may appear either gradually or suddenly. Pain is felt in the wrist and can travel up the forearm. The pain is usually worse when the hand and thumb are in use. This is especially true when forcefully grasping objects or twisting the wrist.
• Swelling may be seen over the thumb side of the wrist. This swelling may occur together with a fluid-filled cyst in this region.
• A "catching" or "snapping" sensation may be felt when moving the thumb.
• Pain and swelling may make it difficult to move the thumb and wrist.
• Numbness may be experienced on the back of the thumb and index finger. This is caused as the nerve lying on top of the tendon sheath is irritated.

The goal in treating de Quervain's tendinitis is to relieve the pain caused by irritation and swelling.

Main Functions of Ares Kinesiology Tape

• Relieves pain and muscle fatigue
• Improves circulation and lymphatic flow via superficial activation while reducing inflammation
  
• Corrects muscle function through reduction of muscle tension and strengthening of the weakened muscle
• Corrects misalignment of joints
• Returns body to homeostasis.
• Works with the body to allow and increase normal range of motion
• May normalize length/tension ratios to create optimal force
• Assist and improve tissue recovery
• Restores epidermal tissue homeostasis
• Decrease inflammation and pressure on mechanical recept
