Trigger Finger

Occupational therapy plays an important role in the treatment of trigger finger by using non-surgical techniques to reduce pain, improve movement, and support healing. 

One of the main strategies is splinting the affected finger to limit motion and allow the inflamed tendon to rest. 

Therapists also guide patients through gentle range-of-motion and tendon-gliding exercises to restore mobility without aggravating symptoms. 

In addition, occupational therapists help individuals modify daily tasks and work habits to reduce repetitive gripping or pressure on the fingers. This personalized, hands-on approach helps individuals regain function and often prevents the need for surgical intervention.
