Possible Non-Surgical Treatment Options for Dupuytren's Contracture
by Dupuytrens Wand Wand for Early Stage Dupuytren’s ContractureDupuytren's Contracture is a medical condition that involves
the accumulation of fibrotic tissues, which may further lead to retraction of
the flexor tendons. The flexed fingers create
disability issues, such as the loss of basic functions carried out with fingers
like holding, gripping and up picking objects. This is the time to seek non
surgical treatment for Dupuytren’s Contracture, before it seems to get worse. Dupuytren's
Contracture occurs more frequently among men, especially those who have a family
history of the condition running through their genes. Your entire hand is affected although it affects
the ring and little fingers more. The
thumb is rarely affected with this bilateral disorder.
Signs and Symptoms to
Look for in Dupuytren's Contracture
While affecting one or both hands, Dupuytren's Contracture
has been seen to leave maximum damage to the ring finger. The condition appears as small, painless lump
formations in the tissues under the skin of the little finger, ring finger,
middle finger, index finger and on the palm side of the hand. If left untreated, it thickens with time and forms
a cord-like band. The symptoms start
with the inability to straighten or extend the fingers. The affected person may have a severe case whereby
even stretching the palm becomes impossible.
Non-Surgical
Treatment for Dupuytren's Contracture to Ensure Passive Mobilization
In multiple-compromised fingers, partial fasciectomy is
suggested as a valid treatment that involves an excision of the thickened
fascial tissue. The best way to recover
is with the use of ultrasound therapy with the Dupuytren's Wand. This non-surgical treatment for Dupuytren's
Contracture is complemented with the use of Dupuytren's gel and tape for
easy-healing properties. Your physician
may recommend taking vitamin E and electrotherapy, along with the ultrasound
treatment, for the best healing results in no time.
Recovery Results
Possible After Dupuytren's Wand Ultrasound Treatment
Medical experts propose continuous use of finger extension
exercises, massage and ultrasound electrotherapy to exert passive traction on
the fingers. The objectives for this
physiotherapeutic treatment are:
- Provide relief from the effects of oedema.
- Soothe the effects of healing adhesions, such as Dupuytren's tape which leaves you with consistent stretch of the fingers.
- Recover the flexed fingers and gently improve the hand's range of motion.
- The intrinsic and extrinsic muscles gain strength and resistance.
- The ultrasound treatment as well as the active and passive exercise program helps maintain hand mobility for a long period.
- There are specific exercise programs that involve a hand gripper, hand positioning and more rehabilitation measures.
