Thumb joint pain
Thumb pain can have several causes, including osteoarthritis, tendonitis, injury, rhizarthrosis and nerve compression. This pain can significantly impair hand function. It is therefore increasingly important to take appropriate measures for pain relief and recovery, which may include the use of K-Active Tape.

Information
General information
The thumb is an extremely important and flexible joint of the hand. It allows you to grasp, hold and manipulate objects. The thumb basically consists of three joints: the base joint near the palm, the middle joint and the end joint. The muscles, tendons and ligaments surrounding the thumb joint provide mobility and stability for the joint.

Causes
Thumb pain can have a variety of causes. These include:
Osteoarthritis: Thumb pain can be caused by osteoarthritis in the thumb joint. This is a degenerative disease in which the cartilage in the joint decreases. The result can be pain and limited mobility.
Tendonitis: Inflammation of the tendons that control thumb movement can also cause pain, especially if it occurs due to overuse.
Injuries: Falls, sprains or fractures in the thumb area can cause significant pain.
Rhizarthrosis: This particular form of osteoarthritis often occurs in middle-aged women and causes pain when gripping and twisting the thumb.
Nerve compression:
Compression of the median nerve, which stimulates the thumb, can cause pain and numbness.

How does K-Active® Tape help against thumb pain?
The application of K-Active® Tape on the thumb exerts targeted pressure on the painful area and improves blood circulation. At the same time, it stabilizes the thumb joint, which is essential to prevent further injury and support recovery. Despite this stability, sufficient freedom of movement is maintained so that the thumb can be used without restriction. In addition, the tape helps to reduce inflammation, which contributes to pain relief.
