7. How do I prevent tenosynovitis?

Individuals can prevent tendon sheath inflammation by decreasing repetitive, forceful, or excessive movements. If you work in an office environment, setting up an ergonomic workstation, including padded mouse and keyboard wrist-rests, may help ease the strain of typing and other tasks. Taking breaks will also help. Muscle strengthening can aid in avoiding tenosynovitis. Another factor that may be overlooked: bacteria can lead to inflammation of the tendon sheath, so be sure to properly clean any cuts or scrapes.
