In the modern era, repetitive use of the thumb and wrist in domestic and occupational activities, along with excessive use of digital devices such as mobile phones and computers, has contributed significantly to wrist pain and functional disability, often leading to De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis. Homoeopathy views De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis as a manifestation of a disturbed vital force, where maintaining causes such as repetitive strain and overuse act upon the underlying susceptibility of the individual. Homoeopathic medicines are known to act effectively on fibrous tissues like tendons and ligaments and possess anti-inflammatory and curative properties. Homoeopathy offers a holistic approach to management through individualized homoeopathic remedies supported by appropriate auxiliary measures such as immobilization, exercises, thermal applications, and dietary advice, thereby providing a safe, non-invasive, and comprehensive method for the management of De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis.
