Quervain’s tenosynovitis is a painful condition that affects the tendons in your
wrist. It occurs when the 2 tendons around the base of your thumb become swollen.
The swelling causes the sheaths (casings) covering the tendons to become inflamed.
This puts pressure on nearby nerves, causing pain and numbness.

It isn’t always clear what causes tenosynovitis though it usually starts in middle
age. Repeated motions like jumping, throwing, or running might be to blame, or it
might happen if you do something sudden like lifting an unusually heavy load.

Speaking of this issue’s symptoms, the inflamed tendon may be painful and swollen.
Patients may notice it more when they use it, especially if a repeated motion like
swinging a hammer or a tennis racquet caused it.

Rest is usually the first treatment. Yet, for those who suffer from severe pain 
and swelling, medical treatment might be needed. In this case, laser therapy has
been advanced as one of the best alternative solutions for this particular issue.

In fact, this treatment is backed by over 40 years of scientific research and clinical
evidence.

 Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) is indeed an effective, painless, non-invasive treatment
option for de Quervain’s tenosynovitis.

Of note, however, the quality of the laser machine used for such type of treatment
should be highly considered by specialists and patients alike as it directly impacts
and even augments recovery chances.

Dealing with Quervain’s tenosynovitis issue, the [Physiotherapy Diode Laser System. SIFLASER-1.41](https://sifsof.com/product/physiotherapy-diode-laser-system-siflaser-1-41/)
has often been specialists’ top choice as it proved its high efficacy in treating
such an issue.

Indeed, this Laser therapy machine has a wide range of clinical applications, including
painful tendon issues typically like the case in hand.  

With a low-level 10W laser power, The device is mainly being used for tendon pain
relief meaning it will work on relieving patients from recurrent pain, stiffness
and swelling feelings.

Unlike many pharmacological treatments that mask pain or only address the symptoms
of disease, Laser Therapy treats the underlying condition or pathology to promote
healing. This means that tenosynovitis treatment is indeed effective and the benefits
of Laser Therapy are long-lasting.

To explain in more detail, The device is targeted in haemoglobin and cytochrome 
c oxidase. So, in sharp contrast to “Cold lasers” which provide no feeling or sensation,
high power diode laser therapy will provide a warm and soothing feeling which is
the exact thing requested from tenosynovitis patients.

Another advantage the device possesses is that it accelerates tissue repair and 
cell growth. That is, Photons of light from this laser machine will penetrate deeply
into the tissue and accelerate cellular reproduction and growth. The laser light
increases the energy available to the cell so that the cell can take on nutrients
faster and get rid of waste products. At the end of this process, tenosynovitis 
patients may feel relieved.

Infectious tenosynovitis is an infection of a tendon and its protective sheath. 
This infection is most common in the finger, hand, or wrist. It can be quite serious.
Quick treatment can help prevent permanent damage to tissues.

 Luckily, Laser therapy has been developed to provide accurate therapeutic services
for this specific issue. Accordingly, Quervain’s  Tenosynovitis patients can get
reassured and less sensitive to numbness and swelling as long as SIFLASER-1.41 is
specifically designed to provide them with the needed treatment that will effectively
restore their physical function and life comfort.
