Trigger finger is a dysfunction of the finger tendon system thought to be caused by overuse, forceful or prolonged flexing/bending of the finger, or inflammation. Symptoms of Trigger Finger include “clicking” when bending your finger or “catching” of your finger when bending it. It is often seen as a finger “locking” in a bent position that requires assistance to straighten it. There may be swelling and pain when touching the finger. Your therapist will assess the finger and create a treatment plan to restore the function.
