Thumb syndrome, also known as thumb carpal tunnel syndrome or de Quervain’s tenosynovitis, is a condition that affects the tendons of the thumb and wrist. It is characterized by inflammation of the tendons that tunnel into the base of the thumb, causing pain and difficulty moving the thumb and wrist. Common symptoms of thumb syndrome include pain at the base of the thumb that may radiate toward the forearm, thumb tenderness to touch, swelling at the base of the thumb or on the side of the wrist, and difficulty grasping or pinching objects. Movements involving the thumb, such as twisting the wrist, grasping, or twisting objects, can worsen symptoms. Causes of thumb syndrome may be related to repetitive stress on the tendons, such as repetitive movements of the wrist and thumb, as well as such as activities that involve a strong grip or repeated twisting of the thumb.
Excessive use of mobile devices, such as smartphones or tablets, can cause discomfort in the hands and fingers due to awkward postures and constant repetition of movements. These symptoms can include pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness in the fingers, hand, and wrist.
To prevent or alleviate symptoms related to excessive use of mobile devices, the following are recommended:
- Take frequent breaks: Take regular breaks while using mobile devices to rest your hands and wrists.
- Assume proper posture: Maintain proper posture ergonomics when using your mobile device, keeping your wrists straight and avoiding twisting or bending at awkward angles.
- Perform stretches: Perform stretching exercises for your hands, fingers, and wrists before and after using mobile devices for long periods of time.
- Use ergonomic devices : Consider using mobile device holders that allow you to maintain a more comfortable and neutral position for your hands and wrists.
- Avoid Excessive Grip: Try not to hold your mobile device with too tight or too tight a grip. Allow your fingers and hands to relax while you type or use your device.
It is important to remember that acupuncture can be used as an alternative treatment.
In addition, the acupuncturist may also provide recommendations for lifestyle changes, exercises, or complementary therapies that can help treat thumb syndrome. It is always important to consider a comprehensive and multidisciplinary approach to address this condition.
