Osteoarthritis thumb treatment by physiotherapy in Rotterdam

Thumb Base Osteoarthritis: Symptoms and Treatment

The thumb is one of the most used parts of the hand. Thumb base osteoarthritis, also called thumb base wear, is therefore common, especially in women over 40 years of age. Osteoarthritis is a condition in which the cartilage on the joint surfaces becomes worn, leading to pain and limitation of movement.

 

Symptoms of Thumb Base Osteoarthritis

  • Nagging pain at the base of the thumb
  • Increased pain with squeezing movements, such as when opening a jar or turning keys
  • Loss of strength in the hand, which can cause objects to fall from the hand
  • Abnormal position of the thumb, where the thumb moves inward and the thumb overextends
  • Swelling around the base of the thumb

 

Treatment methods

The treatment of thumb base osteoarthritis is aimed at reducing symptoms and maintaining or improving hand function.

  • Splint therapy: The use of splints or braces to support the joint, keep the thumb in a functional position and reduce stress on the affected joint. Splinting therapy can be especially helpful during activities that cause pain.
  • Physiotherapy: Our specialist hand physiotherapists can prescribe specific exercises to improve the strength and flexibility of the thumb and surrounding structures. This helps prevent further degeneration or complications and promotes recovery.
  • Surgical intervention: In cases where conservative treatments are ineffective, surgical intervention may be considered.

 

Rates and Reimbursement

The reimbursement for physiotherapy varies per health insurance. We have contracts with almost all health insurers. Consult your care package and our Rates and Reimbursement page for detailed information.

 

Finally

The goal of physical therapy for thumb base osteoarthritis is not only symptom relief, but also to improve quality of life by promoting a more active lifestyle. Consult a specialized physiotherapist for a tailor-made treatment plan and follow the advice and exercises for a healthier lifestyle. For more information about physiotherapy for osteoarthritis, please Move without Pain and ReumaCare Netherlands consult.

Trusted by many

A month ago I came to Fysio Iburg with a groin injury. I have been dealing with this for a year, tried various treatments but unfortunately without results. However, after 3 treatments with Arnold my complaints disappeared. I am therefore very grateful to the practice for their expert treatments. This allows me to exercise again like before!
Milan Frank
Super good and knowledgeable help from Kate. Had a shoulder injury. I received good exercises and was free of injury/pain after a few weeks. Continue to do the exercises to keep the shoulder strong. I would recommend Physio Iburg Rotterdam.
Frank van Hemert
Had great treatment from Farid. Came in with severe back and shoulder pain, a combination of dry needling and old-fashioned cracking, the next day it went much better. Super!
Eelco Schuller
Very well and professionally helped with long-standing hip complaints. Clear explanation and friendly, pleasant practitioner. Short waiting times.
Antoine van Nassau
Due to working from home a lot, poor posture and stress, I had a lot of problems with my shoulder and neck. Together with Fysio Iburg I made a plan in which treatment and exercises have resulted in enormous improvements within a short period of time. I am very satisfied!
Loes Groenendijk
Since I have been treated at this practice, I have recovered from my injuries faster than with previous physiotherapists. Highly specialized people who provide many different types of treatments, a suitable treatment for every injury. Highly recommended!

Claudia
Dry Needling
I am very satisfied with the treatment (dry needling) by Arnold at Physiotherapy Iburg. I can't believe that I got rid of all my complaints within 5 treatments, while I had already been treated by two other physiotherapists without results.
Suthes Balasooriyan
Supportive
Rehabilitated twice for a year with Joris after anterior cruciate ligament reconstructions. In addition to excellent physical guidance to make the knee as strong and stable as possible, he is also just a nice person to work with. In addition, always supportive of my (sports) goals, also during recovery.
Danny Reijs
Hands-on focused approach
I had a fall about 2 months ago and had a lot of shoulder problems. Arnold saw me struggling in the gym and asked if I had shoulder problems and then told me that he is a shoulder specialist. This was over the weekend and I was able to visit him the following Monday. The treatment is uncomfortable but with great results.
Gaby Veesaert
Dry needling
I had neck/shoulder complaints for months, had various physiotherapy and chiropractor treatments that did not benefit me. Until I came to Arnold, I only had 2 treatments, 1x dry needling and finaly strength free! Topper

Rowena
Dry needling
Very satisfied with the treatment! My long-term shoulder pain was significantly reduced within a day of the first dry needling treatment.
Martin de Mik
Back complaints
Excellent! I have/had a fairly complex complaint in my back after an inguinal hernia. I walked crookedly for a long time because of the pain and as a result scoliosis started to form. Meanwhile, my vertebrae and my hip were also stuck and could no longer be loosened. After one treatment by Annemieke, the cause was found and the necessary muscles were loosened.
Eelco Schuller
Old-fashioned cracking
Had great treatment from Farid. Came in with severe back and shoulder pain, a combination of dry needling and old-fashioned cracking, the next day it went much better. Super!
Pieter de Jong
Running analysis
Running analysis is highly recommended to improve your performance and prevent injuries. Back pain and right hip treated and loosened through intensive training. Received very good treatment and information about home exercises that I can do myself. The abdominal muscle exercises I learned have improved my performance and resolved complaints. I have now permanently included these exercises in my training program. Have broad knowledge.

Excellent practice. I was able to go very quickly and I benefited greatly from the treatment. I am especially enthusiastic about the dry needling. It is a painful treatment, but it really helps and Arnold Iburg is extremely skilled at it.
