A Pain in the Thumb! Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common condition affecting over 2 million Australians. It affects joints, causing cartilage (the protective coating on bones in a joint) to wear out and become thin. Many joints can be affected by OA. One of the most commonly impacted is at the base of the thumb (known as the first metacarpal joint.) Symptoms of base of thumb OA include pain, swelling, stiffness and difficulty pinching or gripping. This can make everyday tasks such as turning keys, opening jars or using tools challenging. Hand Therapists are well equipped to help you manage base of thumb OA. This can help you to do the things you enjoy, while reducing pain levels. Following an assessment, a Hand Therapist will provide you with a personalised treatment plan. This may involve providing the right splint for your needs, for support or compression. It could include exercises to improve range of movement, increase strength and reduce stiffness, or suggesting modifications to the way you carry out certain activities.
