Understanding Trigger Finger: Causes and Symptoms
Trigger finger, also known as stenosing tenosynovitis, is a condition that affects the tendons in your hand, causing one or more fingers to become stuck in a bent position. The precise cause of trigger finger is still not fully understood, but it often occurs when the tendons in your fingers become inflamed or swollen, resulting in difficulties when trying to straighten your finger(s).
The most common symptoms of trigger finger include:
- Pain and tenderness at the base of the affected finger
- A popping or clicking sensation when moving the finger
- A feeling of stiffness or catching when attempting to straighten the finger
- A visible bump or nodule at the base of the finger
- Difficulty gripping objects or performing everyday tasks
Traditional Treatment Approaches for Trigger Finger
Traditional medical approaches often involve corticosteroid injections or, in more severe cases, surgical procedures to release the affected tendon. While these methods can provide temporary relief, they do not address the underlying causes and may come with potential risks and side effects.
Our Holistic Approach to Trigger Finger Treatment
At Redding Integrative Medicine, we take a comprehensive and holistic approach to trigger finger treatment, focusing on addressing the root causes of the condition rather than just managing the symptoms. Our team of highly skilled practitioners specializes in alternative and natural medicine methods that can help you heal trigger finger without resorting to surgery.
Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine
Acupuncture, an integral part of Traditional Chinese Medicine, has been used for centuries to alleviate pain and promote healing. By targeting specific acupuncture points, our practitioners can help restore the flow of energy (Qi) within your body, reducing inflammation and promoting tissue repair in the affected finger.
Herbal Medicine and Nutritional Support
Our holistic treatment plans often include customized herbal formulas and nutritional guidance. Certain herbs and supplements possess anti-inflammatory properties and can support your body's natural healing process. Our knowledgeable practitioners will recommend the most appropriate herbal remedies and dietary adjustments based on your specific condition.
Physical Therapy and Hand Exercises
Physical therapy exercises and hand-strengthening techniques can play an essential role in improving finger mobility and reducing discomfort associated with trigger finger. Our experienced therapists will guide you through targeted exercises designed to stretch and strengthen the affected tendons and muscles, promoting flexibility and enhanced hand functionality.
Lifestyle Modifications and Ergonomics
Incorporating lifestyle modifications and ergonomic adjustments into your daily routine can significantly reduce the chances of trigger finger recurrence. Our experts will provide guidance on proper hand positioning, ergonomic tools, and helpful tips to minimize strain on your fingers and hands, promoting optimal healing and preventing future flare-ups.
