Trigger Finger – Stenosing Tenosynovitis

Trigger finger will start as just a little swelling or an inability to fully bend the fingers or fully straighten them. Common symptoms include clicking sensations, the injured finger locking in place or a feeling of pain in the affected finger.

Trigger finger occurs to about 2 to 3% of the population. It’s one of the most common conditions we treat and can be caused when you have to repeatedly grip objects. It’s often seen amongst rowers, during or after pregnancy, and those with diabetes.

Trigger finger treatments can vary depending on how serious the injury is. There are a number of non invasive treatments such as resting the area and avoiding any activities that require repetitive gripping, repeated grasping or use of the injured area.

At Action Rehab,  we can custom fit a finger splint to keep the affected finger in an extended position, the splint helps rest the tendon of the affected finger. Along with the splint, we will recommend some exercises to help maintain mobility while you heal to get you back to being you!
