Treating Trigger Finger with Conservative Therapy
The best approach to treating Trigger Finger is to rely on exercises and stretches that target the affected tendon and surrounding muscles. The exercises performed by rehabilitation devices like Flextend / Restore and other muscle balancing products, can help to restore function and integrity to the affected tendon by eliminating the nodule or adhesion that has formed, so that it no longer catches as it passes through the pulley system when the finger is flexed and extended. This is done through active stretches and exercises that break down the scar tissue on the tendon and that also help thin the tendon, allowing it to move freely through the pulley system and tendon sheath. Using these methods of conservative therapy will correct the disorder without undergoing painful cortisone injections or surgery.
NOTE: A series of stretches and exercises will soon be released via video for consumers to review so come back soon!
