Triggerfinger brace

How does trigger finger treatment work?

There are two different types of trigger finger treatments. A non-operative (conservative) treatment and an operative treatment.

Non-operative (conservative) treatment of trigger finger can be treated in various ways. The first treatment for a trigger finger is mainly to rest. You can only wait and see if the complaints go away on their own. If it turns out that the trigger finger is related to a particular action, follow-up steps are taken.

Another non-surgical treatment for trigger finger is anti-inflammatory drugs. It uses an injection with a combination of an anesthetic liquid and a powerful anti-inflammatory. After a maximum of three injections, the injection into the affected tendon damage provides long-term healing. The effect of an injection can be noticeable after a few days, but it takes about six works for maximum results.

A third possible solution for conservative treatment is trigger finger braces. A finger splint can help to rest the affected joint and stimulate the recovery of a trigger finger or trigger thumb. In addition, the trigger finger brace protects the joints from further complaints and makes it possible to perform additional actions.
