Understanding Trigger Finger
Trigger finger, also known as stenosing tenosynovitis, is a common condition that causes pain, stiffness, clicking, or catching of a finger or thumb. In some cases, the affected finger can become temporarily locked when bending or straightening.
Common symptoms include:
-
Pain or tenderness around the base of the affected finger or thumb
-
Clicking, catching, or snapping when moving the finger
-
Stiffness, particularly in the morning
-
Difficulty fully straightening or bending the finger
-
A finger or thumb becoming temporarily locked in one position
-
Symptoms that gradually become more frequent or persistent over time
Trigger finger can interfere with gripping, typing, lifting, work, hobbies, and other everyday activities. An early assessment can help determine whether injection treatment is appropriate for your symptoms.
Our Trigger Finger Treatment
At DCM Physiotherapy, we provide targeted injection treatment for suitable patients with trigger finger.
1. Assessment & Diagnosis
A thorough assessment of your finger or thumb, symptoms, movement, and medical history helps determine whether your symptoms are consistent with trigger finger and whether injection treatment is appropriate.
2. Injection Therapy
A corticosteroid injection can be used to reduce inflammation and irritation around the affected tendon sheath. For suitable patients, injection treatment can help reduce pain, clicking, catching, and stiffness, allowing the finger or thumb to move more comfortably.
Your clinician will discuss the procedure, expected benefits, potential risks, and alternative options with you before treatment.
