Trigger Finger Release

Non-Surgical Treatments

Start With the Least-Invasive Options

Non-Surgical Hand & Wrist Treatments

• Corticosteroid Injections Targeted steroid injections directly into the tendon sheath reduce inflammation and can provide significant relief from trigger finger symptoms. Many patients experience improvement within days of treatment.
  • Ultrasound-guided precision injection
  • Reduced inflammation and pain relief
• Splinting Therapy Custom splints keep your finger in a straight position, allowing the inflamed tendon to rest and heal. This treatment works best for mild to moderate cases caught early.
  • Custom-fitted splints for optimal healing
  • Nighttime wear to prevent triggering
• Physical Therapy Our specialized hand therapists guide you through exercises designed to improve tendon gliding and finger flexibility. Therapy includes gentle stretching and strengthening techniques.
  • Tendon gliding exercises
  • Massage and soft tissue mobilization
• Activity Modification Our occupational therapists help you identify and modify daily activities that may be contributing to your trigger finger symptoms. This approach focuses on preventing further irritation while promoting healing.
  • Ergonomic assessments and recommendations
  • Adaptive tools and techniques training
• Anti-inflammatory Medications Oral medications or topical treatments can help reduce inflammation in the tendon sheath. Your physician will recommend the most appropriate option based on your medical history and symptom severity.
  • Oral NSAIDs for systemic relief
  • Topical anti-inflammatory gels

Studies show that up to 70% of patients with mild to moderate trigger finger experience significant improvement with non-surgical treatments within 8-12 weeks.
