DeQuervain's Injection

A DeQuervain's injection is a procedure used to treat DeQuervain's tenosynovitis, a condition that causes pain, swelling, and inflammation in the tendons on the thumb side of the wrist. During the procedure, Dr. Singer will inject a steroid medication into the tendon sheath to reduce inflammation and alleviate symptoms. This injection can help decrease pain and improve movement in the affected wrist and thumb.

DeQuervain's injections are typically performed in a healthcare provider's office and can provide quick and effective relief for many patients. It's important to follow Dr. Singer's instructions for post-injection care, which may include resting the wrist, avoiding certain activities, and applying ice to the injection site.
