One of the most frustrating things for patients is trigger finger! What happens is the fingers feel "stuck" when trying to extend from a flexed position. Often though patients can extend with help.
One of the main issues we find is that patients are in an occupation with overuse in grasping manoeuvres.
So what is the cause
-many factors involving inflammation, trauma or even congenital variation, the sheath that covers the tendon enlarges and the pulley system is caught. This will cause the finger/thumb to not be able to extend.
How can Health Wise Chiropractic help?
- based on the latest research, the use of ultrasound therapy with some cross friction massage should help with trigger finger.
