Thumb-side wrist pain? It could be De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis.
This common condition happens when the tendons near the base of your thumb become inflamed—often from repetitive hand or wrist movements like texting, lifting, or gripping.

Symptoms may include pain, swelling, and difficulty gripping or pinching.

Treatment options may include:
✔️ Rest and activity modification
✔️ Bracing
✔️ Anti-inflammatory medication
✔️ Physical therapy
✔️ Injections
✔️ Surgery (in severe cases)

Early treatment can help relieve pain and restore function faster. If wrist or thumb pain is slowing you down, our orthopaedic specialists are here to help.

An EMG/NCV (Electromyography/ Nerve Conduction Study) helps us get to the root of nerve and muscle pain!
This test that we commonly order measures how well your nerves send signals and how your muscles respond, helping diagnose conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, cubital tunnel syndrome, pinched nerves, radiculopathy, peripheral neuropathy, and other nerve or muscle disorders. When symptoms like numbness, tingling, weakness, or unexplained pain persist, an EMG/NCV can provide the answers needed to guide the right treatment an EMG/NCV can provide the answers needed to guide the right treatment—so you can get back to moving and feeling your best!

Joint pain isn’t something you should always “push through.”
If you’re experiencing persistent pain, swelling or redness, limited movement, or sudden severe pain, it may be your body signaling something more serious. Early evaluation can make all the difference—don’t ignore the signs!

A shoulder scope, also known as a shoulder arthroscopy, is a minimally invasive procedure used to diagnose and treat a variety of shoulder conditions. Through small incisions and a tiny camera, our surgeons can repair rotator cuff tears, labral tears, shoulder instability, impingement, and cartilage damage—all with less pain, less scarring, and typically a faster recovery than open surgery.
If shoulder pain is limiting your movement or daily activities, a scope may be the solution to help you get back to doing what you love! Come see us today if you are experiencing shoulder pain!
