De Quervians Tenosynovitis

Introduction

De Quervians tenosynovitis is a common pathology affecting the tendons on the thumb side of the wrist. Possible causes include acute injuries, overuse and repetitive motion of the wrist and thumb. 

Like many tendon pathologies, progress can be slow. Research has found shockwave therapy to be a safe and effective treatment for those with De Quervians Tendinopathy (Haghnighat et al. 2021). The mechanical stimulus provided by shockwave therapy is thought to help initiate tendon regeneration and increase blood flow (Wang et al. 2012).
