What is trigger finger?
Trigger finger (stenosing tenosynovitis) is a condition where a finger gets stuck in a bent position and then suddenly straightens, often causing pain, clicking, or stiffness.
What causes trigger finger?
It is caused by inflammation and narrowing of the tendon sheath that controls finger movement. Common factors include repetitive gripping, arthritis, diabetes, or injury.
What are typical treatments for trigger finger?
Standard options include rest, splinting, anti-inflammatory medications, corticosteroid injections, and surgery in severe cases.
What challenges do patients face with conventional treatments?
Patients may experience:
-
Persistent symptoms despite injections
-
Discomfort from splints
-
Surgery risks and downtime
-
Recurrence after treatment
How does The Pain Relief Practice treat trigger finger differently?
We use non-invasive therapies aimed at reducing inflammation and improving tendon gliding, including:
-

-

Is this suitable for mild and moderate cases?
Yes. Our treatments are ideal for early and moderate symptoms to avoid surgery.
How soon can patients expect improvement?
Many notice symptom relief within a few sessions; consistent home therapy supports longer-term benefits.
When is surgery recommended?
