What is De Quervain’s?

De Quervain's Tenosynovitis is a tendon injury that affects the thumb side of the wrist, commonly after activities that require repetitive thumb and wrist motions such as gardening or racquet sports.

What are the symptoms of De Quervain’s?

The tendons become inflamed, causing pain at the base of the thumb and sometimes into the forearm if left untreated. De Quervain’s often causes pain, stiffness, and possible swelling in the thumb and wrist. The pain may increase while turning your wrist, grasping, or making a fist.

How will a brace help treat De Quervains?

The best way to treat De Quervain's Tenosynovitis is by resting the joint. Since daily activities commonly require the thumb joint, it is recommended to use a brace to stabilize the joint and limit range of motion during the rehabilitation process. For most cases of De Quervain’s, a thumb spica/splint will provide the stabilization required for recovery. If the pain has spread into the wrist and forearm, we recommend to choose the Wrist Brace with Thumb Splint for greater support and pain relief.

Testimonials

I recently bought a knee brace from Bioskin. The service was amazing. Kelly was pleasant, helpful, and very patient. She wanted to make sure I got the best brace that would work for me. She never made me feel rushed. She wasn't sure I had the best brace and she consulted with Angela. Angela was knowledgeable, informative, and also very patient. The brace was helpful, but unfortunately it was too tight after working all night. They exchanged it the following day without any hassle. I highly recommend Bioskin and would definitely use them again if needed.

Staff very helpful and we had to call a head to see what time they closed because we had drive across town and because it was almost 4pm we called them at 3:40pm and my daughter really needed a hand brace because she just found out she is a high risk pregnancy and has pregnancy induced carpal tunnel so she really needed a brace so we called and they said they closed at 4pm but because we had to drive there they stayed open till we got there and she was able to get her brace. THANK YOU FOR BEING SO HELPFUL AND KIND.

Went with wife for her bone-on-bone knee issues. Angela and Terri were incredibly knowledgeable, helpful and so nice. They identified two that best fit my wife's description of issues and after fitting them, she chose the one that was best for her. They stand behind their products...if you need a brace, this is the place.
