Osteoarthritis is an annoying joint condition. We would like to explain exactly what this condition is and which braces can give you the best support and protection. Read on below.
What is osteoarthritis?
Osteoarthritis in the thumb is a condition in which the cartilage in the thumb joint becomes damaged. This prevents the thumb from moving properly, which can cause pain, stiffness and loss of strength.
Osteoarthritis in the thumb is more common in people over the age of 40, and women have a higher risk of it than men. The cause of osteoarthritis is not entirely clear, but is probably caused by a combination of factors, including overuse, heredity and age.
There are several ways to treat osteoarthritis in the thumb. Medications can reduce pain and inflammation, and physiotherapy can help improve the thumb's strength and flexibility. Wearing a thumb brace can also help relieve pain and stiffness.
