What is Texting Thumb? And How SoftWave TRT Can Help

Published October 13th, 2024 by Drenos

With the constant use of smartphones in our daily lives, many of us experience a nagging pain in our thumbs. This discomfort is commonly referred to as “Texting Thumb”, a modern condition that arises from repetitive thumb movements, such as texting, typing, or scrolling on devices. But what exactly is texting thumb, and what can you do to treat it?

What is Texting Thumb?

“Texting thumb,” also known as De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis, occurs when the tendons in the thumb become inflamed or irritated due to overuse. The repetitive motions involved in texting or typing can cause the tendons that run along the thumb and wrist to swell, leading to pain, discomfort, and even difficulty in moving the thumb.

Symptoms of Texting Thumb include:

  • Pain or swelling at the base of the thumb or wrist
  • Difficulty gripping objects
  • A clicking or popping sound when moving the thumb
  • Stiffness or reduced range of motion in the thumb
  • Pain that worsens with repetitive movements like texting, typing, or scrolling

If left untreated, texting thumb can worsen, leading to chronic pain or even damage to the thumb tendons and joints.

How Can SoftWave TRT Help with Texting Thumb?

While rest, ice, and physical therapy are often recommended for texting thumb, some cases require more advanced treatment to speed up healing and reduce inflammation. This is where SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Technology (TRT) comes in.

SoftWave TRT is a non-invasive therapy that uses sound waves to promote the body’s natural healing process. By targeting damaged tissues and reducing inflammation, SoftWave TRT can offer fast relief for those suffering from texting thumb without the need for surgery or injections.
