| The
MAD-1 Micro-therapy unit - 21st century
technology from New Zealand Unlike other dequervains tendonitis treatments that are designed simply to mask the pain or immobilise the area, the MAD-1 micro-therapy unit actually provides a complete treatment as it actively promotes rapid regeneration of damaged tissues and treats the pain. |

The MAD-1 uniquely works in two ways:
We have found that this combined method of treatment provides both the most rapid reduction in symptoms and the shortest healing time possible for dequervains tendonitis. |
|
No wires or complex settings to adjust. Just put it on, turn it on, and leave it to do its job. |
|
The MAD-1 micro-therapy units produce no sensation or side
effects, and are so
comfortable you can use them anytime you like, even at night.
They are attached to your skin via ultra-thin self-adhesive hypoallergenic pads or you can use the custom made strap on some areas of the forearm and wrist; both methods of attachment are included with your MAD-1. |

Dequervains TendonitisDe Quervain's tendinitis occurs when the tendons around the base of the thumb become inflamed. The word "tendonitis" refers to inflammation or swelling of the tendons. Inflammation of the tendons can cause a variety of symptoms including pain and tenderness along the thumb side of the wrist, this symptom is particularly noticeable when forming a fist, grasping an object, or when rotating the wrist. Tendonitis is the
inflammation of a tendon. Symptoms of Dequervains Tendonitis* Pain may be felt over the thumb side of the wrist, this is one of the most common symptoms. The pain may appear either gradually or suddenly. Pain is felt in the wrist and can travel up the forearm. The pain is usually worse when the hand and thumb are in use. This is especially true when forcefully grasping objects or twisting the wrist. * Swelling may be seen over the thumb side of the wrist. This swelling may occur together with a fluid-filled cyst in this region. * A "catching" or "snapping" sensation may be felt when moving the thumb. * Pain and swelling may make it difficult to move the thumb and wrist. * Numbness and tingling may be experienced on the back of the thumb and index finger. This is caused as the nerve lying on top of the tendon sheath is compressed by the inflamed tendon. Causes of Dequervains TendonitisDeQuervain's tendinitis is caused when tendons on the thumb side of the wrist become swollen. The swelling causes the lining (synovium) around the tendon to also swell, which makes it difficult for the tendons to move smoothly, as they should. Tendinitis may be caused by overuse, or a poor diet and is often seen in association with pregnancy. Tendonitis may also be found in association with inflammatory arthritis, and rheumatoid diseases. Dequervain's tendinitis is usually most common in middle-aged women. Treatment of Dequervains TendonitisThe normal medical advice for
healing a damaged tendon is
'complete rest', as this allows the inflammation to subside and
new cells to gradually replace the damaged ones. However, due to
the poor blood supply that tendons have, it can take a very long
period of inactivity to completely heal the tendon. Other
forms of treatment include surgery, which has a very low success
rate, and steroid injections which can produce very unpleasant side
effects. |

Why is Dequervains tendonitis so difficult to heal?The reason that tendons are so slow to heal is that they have very poor blood supplies compared to other areas of the body such as muscle or skin, both of which require lots of oxygen in order to do their job. Unfortunately, tendons don't require a lot of blood to carry out their function, so consequently they have a much reduced blood supply, which means they normally take a very long time to heal. How can I heal Dequervains tendonitis?The normal medical advice for
healing a damaged tendon is
'complete rest', as this allows the inflammation to subside and
new cells to gradually replace the damaged ones. However, due to
the poor blood supply that tendons have, it can take a very long
