De Quervain's Tenosynovitis: SoftWave Therapy at Nathans Family Chiropractic

At Nathans Family Chiropractic in Jacksonville, FL, led by Dr. Alan Nathans, we understand the challenges of De Quervain's tenosynovitis, commonly known as \"Mommy Thumb\" or \"Gamer's Thumb.\" This painful condition affects the tendons on the thumb side of the wrist, but there's hope for relief and healing through SoftWave Therapy, an innovative treatment we proudly offer.

Understanding De Quervain's Tenosynovitis

De Quervain's tenosynovitis occurs when the tendons around the base of the thumb become irritated or constricted, leading to pain and swelling. This can make simple wrist and thumb movements a painful ordeal.

Causes and Symptoms

• Pain: The most common symptom, often felt on the thumb side of the wrist and extending into the forearm.
• Swelling: Swelling at the base of the thumb due to tendon irritation and inflammation.
• Movement Difficulty: Challenges in moving the thumb and wrist, particularly when grasping or making a fist.
• Catching Sensation: A catching or snapping feeling when moving the thumb.

Traditional Treatments vs. SoftWave Therapy

While traditional treatments like rest, splinting, and medications offer temporary relief, SoftWave Therapy at Nathans Family Chiropractic provides a non-invasive, non-surgical, and medication-free approach with lasting results.

The Benefits of SoftWave Therapy

• Decreasing Pain and Inflammation: SoftWave Therapy's gentle waves effectively reduce pain and inflammation.
• Improved Blood Flow: It promotes the formation of new blood vessels, enhancing circulation and healing.
• Stem Cell Activation: Activates and mobilizes stem cells to repair and regenerate damaged tissues.
• Enhanced Mobility: Reduces inflammation and promotes tissue repair, improving thumb and wrist function.
