Trigger Finger Treatment

Trigger finger causes a finger or thumb to catch or lock in a bent position due to inflammation of the tendon that controls its movement. Dr. Sanjay Rawat provides effective trigger finger treatment in Indore to restore smooth, pain-free finger movement.

About Trigger Finger Treatment

Trigger finger occurs when the tendon sheath in the finger becomes inflamed and narrowed, causing the tendon to catch as it moves through the sheath. This creates a locking or snapping sensation, often accompanied by pain at the base of the affected finger. It is more common in people with diabetes, repetitive gripping occupations, or certain inflammatory conditions, and can affect one or multiple fingers simultaneously.

Symptoms of Trigger Finger Treatment

• A catching or locking sensation when bending the finger
• Pain or tenderness at the base of the finger
• A palpable lump or nodule in the palm
• Stiffness, particularly in the morning
• The finger may lock in a bent position, requiring manual straightening

Causes of Trigger Finger Treatment

• Repetitive gripping activities
• Diabetes and other metabolic conditions
• Inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis
• Direct trauma to the palm or finger
• Idiopathic cases with no clear cause

Diagnosis

• Clinical examination assessing finger movement and locking
• Palpation to identify tendon nodule
• Assessment of grip strength and finger flexibility
• Evaluation for underlying inflammatory conditions

Treatment Options

• Splinting to rest the affected finger
• Anti-inflammatory medication for pain and swelling
• Corticosteroid injection into the tendon sheath
• Activity modification to reduce repetitive gripping
• Surgical release of the tendon sheath for persistent cases
