Published January 22nd, 2024 by Thrive Chiropractic

Thumb pain and basal joint arthritis can significantly impact your daily activities, making even simple tasks difficult. At Thrive Chiropractic in Westlake Village, California, Dr. Laura Willis and Dr. Mike Willis offer an innovative solution using SoftWave Therapy. This non-surgical, drug-free treatment harnesses electrohydraulic supersonic acoustic waves to promote healing and tissue regeneration, providing effective relief from thumb pain and basal joint arthritis.

Understanding Thumb Anatomy and Basal Joint Arthritis

The basal joint, located at the base of the thumb, is essential for thumb movement and function. Basal joint arthritis, also known as thumb arthritis, occurs when the cartilage in this joint wears away, leading to pain, swelling, and decreased motion.

Causes and Symptoms of Basal Joint Arthritis

Basal joint arthritis can be caused by:

  • Wear and Tear: Repeated use over time can lead to cartilage degradation.
  • Injury: Trauma to the thumb joint can accelerate arthritis development.
  • Genetics: A family history of arthritis increases your risk.

Common symptoms include:

  • Pain at the Base of the Thumb: Especially during gripping or pinching activities.
  • Swelling and Stiffness: Around the thumb joint.
  • Decreased Strength: Difficulty performing tasks that require thumb strength.
  • Reduced Range of Motion: Limited ability to move the thumb.

Who is Affected by Basal Joint Arthritis?

Basal joint arthritis often affects:

  • Older Adults: Due to the natural aging process.
  • Women: More prone than men to develop this condition.
  • Individuals with a History of Thumb Injury: Prior trauma can contribute to arthritis.

The Power of SoftWave Therapy at Thrive Chiropractic

SoftWave Therapy uses electrohydraulic supersonic acoustic waves to stimulate the body's natural healing mechanisms. Here's how it works for thumb pain and basal joint arthritis:

  1. Decreases Pain and Inflammation: Provides immediate relief by reducing discomfort and swelling.

  3. Stimulates Healing Molecules: Activates eNOS (endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase) and VEGF (Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor) to support tissue repair.
  4. Encourages Neovascularization: Promotes better nutrient delivery and waste removal through new blood vessels.
  5. Activates Stem Cells for Tissue Regeneration: Stimulates, activates, and migrates stem cells to aid in the natural repair and regeneration of cartilage and tissues.
