Trigger Finger Physiotherapy
Do your fingers lock or catch while bending or straightening? Is there pain, stiffness, or a clicking sensation, especially in the morning? Are you searching alternatives to avoid injections or surgery? These are common signs of Trigger Finger.
What Is Trigger Finger? Trigger finger, or stenosing tenosynovitis, occurs when the tendon that bends the finger becomes inflamed and cannot glide smoothly through its sheath. This leads to finger locking, pain at the base of the finger or thumb, swelling, and reduced hand function. It is often seen in people with repetitive hand use, diabetes, arthritis, or prolonged mobile and computer use.
Physiotherapy is a safe and effective approach, especially in early stages. Treatment focuses on reducing inflammation, improving tendon glide, and restoring finger mobility. It includes therapeutic ultrasound, soft tissue release, stretching, splint guidance, and graded strengthening. Ergonomic advice helps prevent recurrence.
Avoid repetitive gripping, take frequent hand breaks, apply warm compresses, and perform gentle finger stretching and tendon gliding exercises as advised by a physiotherapist.
