How hand therapy
may help.
Therapy begins by identifying the activities and movement patterns that provoke symptoms. Treatment may include a thumb-and-wrist orthosis when indicated, adjustments to lifting and gripping techniques, graded mobility and strengthening when tolerated, and education to reduce repeated irritation.
Pain that persists, significant swelling or symptoms after an injury should be evaluated by a qualified medical professional to ensure the diagnosis and treatment plan are appropriate.

Frequently asked
questions.
Will I need a thumb splint?
A thumb spica orthosis can be helpful in some cases, but its design and duration of use depend on the clinical assessment and medical recommendations.
Can I keep using my hand?
Many people benefit from modifying painful activities rather than completely avoiding movement. Your therapist can help identify safer ways to complete essential tasks.
