Why This Pain Matters
Do you experience thumb pain, tingling, or even numbness in your hand? 😩 This discomfort can make daily tasks—like gripping objects, typing, or even using your phone—a struggle. Whether you're an athlete, office worker, or someone dealing with chronic pain, ignoring these symptoms can lead to bigger issues over time.
At Elite Recovery Sports Therapy, we specialize in Neuromuscular Therapy, Myofascial Release, and Frederick Stretch Therapy (FST) to help clients in San Juan Capistrano, Lake Elsinore, and surrounding areas regain mobility, relieve pain, and improve performance. 💪
Muscles That Cause the Pain
Understanding the source of your pain is key! Trigger points in the following muscles can lead to thumb pain, tingling, and mobility restrictions:
Primary Muscles Involved:
✅ Supinator – Can cause radial-side wrist pain and weakness gripping objects
✅ Scalene Muscles – Known for radiating pain into the arms, fingers, and thumb
✅ Brachialis & Brachioradialis – Contribute to forearm and elbow discomfort
✅ Opponens Pollicis & Adductor Pollicis – Affect thumb movement and stability
Secondary Muscles That Worsen the Pain:
🔹 Infraspinatus – Affects shoulder function, leading to compensatory hand pain
🔹 Extensor Carpi Radialis Longus – Influences wrist extension and thumb function
🔹 Subclavius – Can contribute to circulation and nerve compression issues 🔹 First Dorsal Interosseus & Flexor Pollicis Longus – Impact dexterity and grip strength
If you’ve been experiencing tingling, weakness, or pain that won’t go away, these muscles may be at the root of the problemnts like cortisone shots or braces don’t always work!
