Self Traction/Rotation Fingers
In the case of thumb joint arthritis the problem, generally, is that the chronic joint laxity causes the normal cartilage
to wear due to the resulting friction. This is predominantly a female condition. The exception to this
would be those cases of specific, repetitive trauma such as in men who play certain musical instruments.
Read more about the cause and treatment in our Articles tab under the Prolotherapy heading. To counter the harmful effect of joint
friction continually realign the thumb joints by pulling on the thumb while giving a slight twist in one
direction, then the other. This movement should feel generally good. If it becomes painful discontinue
that direction of movement. The replacement of lost joint cartilage and the reestablishment of joint
ligaments are no small task, but this is the area of PINS-Prolotherapy treatment.Return to the Articles Page
