Effective Trigger Finger Treatment at Jeff Law Physiotherapy
Trigger finger, also known as stenosing tenosynovitis, is a condition that causes pain, stiffness, and a catching sensation when you try to bend or straighten your finger. It often occurs when the tendons in the finger become inflamed, making it difficult for them to move smoothly through their sheath. This condition is common among individuals aged 40 to 60, particularly those who perform repetitive hand movements.
At Jeff Law Physiotherapy in Causeway Bay, Hong Kong, we specialize in comprehensive trigger finger treatment and physiotherapy to help you alleviate pain and restore full function to your hand.

Common Causes of Trigger Finger
Trigger finger, medically known as stenosing tenosynovitis, occurs when the tendons that control finger movement become inflamed or swollen. This inflammation can cause the tendon to "catch" or lock as it moves through the sheath, resulting in a painful, clicking sensation when you try to straighten or bend your finger. The condition commonly affects the thumb, middle finger, and ring finger.
Here are some common causes of trigger finger:
-
Repetitive Finger Movements: Activities that involve frequent gripping, such as typing, using a computer mouse, or playing musical instruments, can strain the tendons.
-
Prolonged Gripping or Lifting: Holding or lifting heavy objects over extended periods can contribute to the development of trigger finger.
Symptoms of Trigger Finger
Trigger finger symptoms can vary from mild to severe and often include:
-
Finger Stiffness: Especially noticeable in the morning or after periods of inactivity.
-
Pain and Tenderness: Pain at the base of the affected finger or thumb may worsen with movement.
-
A Clicking or Popping Sensation: Bending or straightening the fingers, often accompanied by a catching feeling.
-
Finger Locking: In more severe cases, the finger may lock in a bent position and require straightening assistance.
-
Nodule or Lump Formation: A small, tender lump near the base of the affected finger that can be painful to the touch.
