Pathology Overview

Understanding Hand & Wrist Arthritis Therapy

Thumb Base (CMC Joint) Osteoarthritis is a common joint concern causing deep pain at the base of the thumb, making pinching, turning keys, and opening jars difficult.

Finger joint arthritis (including Heberden's and Bouchard's nodes) presents as joint swelling, stiffness, and reduced grip strength.

Our specialized hand care in Chennai focuses on joint preservation techniques, targeted hand muscle strengthening, and ergonomic modifications to protect joint surfaces.

Modalities Offered

Treatment Approaches

  • Gentle joint mobilisations to reduce stiffness and ease pain
  • Targeted thumb and intrinsic hand muscle strengthening
  • Ergonomic coaching and joint protection strategies
  • Custom support splinting advice for pinching tasks

Assessment Focus

What We Measure

  • Joint protection and hand exercise prescription
  • Ergonomic tool and writing modifications

FAQs

Clinical Q&A

Why does the base of my thumb hurt so much when opening jars?

Opening jars requires a strong pinch-and-twist motion, which concentrates high forces directly onto the CMC joint at the base of the thumb.

Can exercise help arthritic fingers?

Yes, targeted exercises strengthen the muscles around the joints, providing better support and reducing joint friction and pain.

Do splints help thumb arthritis?

Yes, wearing a supportive splint during heavy tasks stabilizes the joint, reducing pain and preventing joint strain.
