Trigger Finger... Not A Cowboy's Problem. How can a chiropractor help
What is trigger finger?
Trigger finger is when your digits "snap" when opening and closing your hand. It is also called stenosing tenosynovitis.
What are symptoms of trigger finger?
Symptoms occur when trying to flex or extend your hand to grip. Instead of a smooth open and close action, your finger(s) shutter and then snap open or closed.
What causes trigger finger?
Inflammation or scarring around the tendons of the hand cause this problem.
What is the treatment for trigger finger?
Stretching, ice, and anti-inflammation treatments can be helpful. If this does not alleviate the problem, bones may be out of place and need to be moved back into place for better and efficient movement of the hand. Also, Sound Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization does wonders for this condition and can be done in our office! If you have this problem and would like it solved without the use of cortisone shots or medication.
Dr. Amie Gregory, DC, CCEP, ANF at Precise Moves Chiropractic can help. She can adjust your hand, fingers and spine to make sure your body is functioning the way it should. Cold laser and Graston Technique may also be needed to help your fingers and joints move properly and heal. Contact us at our San Francisco, CA office or San Carlos, CA office today!
