What is the best solution to prevent BlackBerry Thumb?
“Listen to your body, be aware of your symptoms and take personal responsibility,” Miller says. Typical treatments include applying Ice to the affected area, stretching, using a properly fitted thumb splint, and possibly even a cortisone injection. In worse-case scenarios, some may need surgery to remove scar tissue that has thickened the tendons inside tunnels that sheath them. “But my first suggestion is that individuals who have these symptoms see a physical therapist,” Miller concludes. The American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) is a national professional organization representing more than 66,000 physical therapists, physical therapist assistants, and students.
