Trigger Finger

Trigger Finger Assessment and Treatment

Finger stiffness, clicking or locking?

Trigger finger is a common condition affecting the tendons that bend the fingers or thumb.
The tendon becomes irritated, making it difficult to glide smoothly through its sheath, causing the finger to click, catch or lock during movement.

Our clinicians provide expert assessment and evidence-based treatment to help restore smooth movement and reduce pain.

Treatment options include:

  • Specialist assessment
  • Activity modification
  • Hand exercises
  • Splinting advice
  • Ultrasound-guided corticosteroid injections
  • Referral for surgical opinion when appropriate

Early treatment often prevents symptoms from becoming more severe.
