Genetic factors as well as overloading of the hand and finger joints can restrict mobility. Pain and swelling are often accompanying symptoms. In addition to drug treatment, physiotherapy provides the maintenance or restoration of joint mobility.
Physiotherapeutic interventions for diseases of the finger joints
Particularly in the case of arthrosis of the finger joint, maintaining mobility and alleviating pain in physiotherapy is crucial. The breakdown of the cartilage substance causes the joint capsule to ossify, resulting in the formation of small nodules on the finger joints, which restrict mobility and cause pain. In addition to the pain and restricted mobility, swelling can also occur.
