Trigger Finger

Trigger finger happens when the tendons in your fingers or thumb become inflamed, making it painful or difficult to straighten them. You might notice soreness at the base of the digit, followed by a catching or locking sensation. This condition is often caused by repetitive gripping or underlying health issues like arthritis or diabetes. At Spine & Joint Solutions, treatment can include anti-inflammatory medications, bracing, and occupational therapy to relieve symptoms and improve movement. For more advanced care, platelet-rich plasma may be used to promote natural healing, with surgery considered only if other treatments do not bring relief.
