Tenosynovitis is defined by an inflammation of a sheath that surrounds the tendon. In Tenosynovitis, the fluid filled sheath that surrounds the tendon becomes inflamed; this usually leads to swelling and a great deal of pain. People who develop this also have problems with mobility and flexibility. Sometimes the finger that is affected with this condition is stuck in a flexed position which causes pain.
Unfortunately, there are not many known causes for tenosynovitis but there are conditions that may lead to developing it. For example, people who use hand tools or work with their hands a lot might get injured and develop its symptoms. Another common cause is genetics as it seems to run in family. Being male is also a risk factor and also contacting the bacteria called Neisseria gonorrhea, which will lead to infectious arthritis.
The main problem in tenosynovitis is the fact that the tendons hurt and are swelled and depending on how severe the condition is the treatment varies. For example, if the condition is not that bad people will usually alleviate their pain with over the counter anti-inflammatory drugs. However, these might not be enough if the tenosynovitis gets worse and other types of medication might be needed.
This is where a remedial massage Gold Coast has to offer does wonders. It can help with the pain and stiffness caused by the liquid filled sheath. Remedial massage also breaks down scar tissue that often forms when there’s an injury or accident, and sometime this is one of the main causes for tenosynovitis.
Other treatments may include light exercise and even cortisone injections but also surgery. Surgery however might be a too extreme procedure for those suffering from this condition.
For those who have to work physically hard with their hands every day, this condition can be life altering but sometimes even those people can be helped to maintain their activity despite this illness if they choose to undergo regular remedial massage sessions. This clinical massage on the Gold Coast will help with pain and stiffness that makes a person’s hands nonfunctional.
