How to do Trigger Finger Treatment without Surgery at Home
A trigger finger is a condition when your finger temporarily
gets stuck in a bending position as if squeezing a trigger. It usually occurs
when the space around the tendon becomes inflamed and, therefore, tighter
around your tendon. The inflammation and nodules form on the tendon, making it
difficult to move your finger.
For a non-surgical treatment for trigger finger, here are some options that may work for your symptoms:
Rest:
If
you are a victim of a trigger finger, you must avoid the activities requiring
continuous gripping and grasping or the extended use of vibrating hand-held
machinery. If you can’t avoid these activities, padded gloves will come in
handy.
Splinting: A
splinting with trigger finger tape allows a person to move the upper portion of
their finger, affecting the portion close to the palm. It also helps give a
rest to your tendon. You may wear your splint at night to keep the affected
finger in the extended position.
Massage: A
gentle stroke with a massage wand will help you with pain and discomfort. It
restores the moment in your finger by reducing the tenderness and finger locking
symptoms.
