Do your fingers lock or catch when you try to move them? 😩 Is gripping objects painful or impossible? You’re not alone. Trigger Finger (stenosing tenosynovitis) is a frustrating and painful condition that affects everyday movement, making simple tasks like holding a coffee cup or typing unbearable.
But the good news? Elite Recovery in San Juan Capistrano & Lake Elsinore specializes in pain relief through Neuromuscular Therapy, Myofascial Release, and Stretch Therapy—effective solutions that restore mobility and eliminate pain.
🔎What’s Causing Your Trigger Finger Pain?
Trigger Finger happens when the flexor tendons in your fingers become inflamed, creating painful knots that make movement stiff and difficult.
Muscles & Trigger Points Involved:
Flexor Digitorum Superficialis & Profundus – Tendons responsible for bending the fingers
Lumbricals – Assist in finger flexion
Thenar Muscles (thumb pain involvement) – Affect grip strength and mobility
Palmaris Longus – Plays a role in wrist and finger motion
These muscles can develop trigger points (painful knots) that refer pain into the fingers, mimicking joint stiffness and causing that frustrating “locking” sensation.
💆♀️ At Elite Recovery, we use a multi-therapy approach to break down scar tissue, restore movement, and eliminate pain. Here’s how:
✅ Tom Barnes Myofascial Release – Reduces tightness in the fascia surrounding the flexor tendons to relieve pain and improve movement.
✅ Janet Travell Trigger Point Therapy – Releases hyperactive trigger points in the forearm muscles that refer pain to the fingers.
✅ Erik Dalton Myoskeletal Alignment – Corrects hand, wrist, and elbow alignment to reduce nerve irritation.
✅ Vodder Lymphatic Drainage – Reduces swelling and inflammation in the hand and forearm to promote healing.
✅ Frederick Stretch Therapy (FST) – Gently stretches and mobilizes the fingers, hand, and wrist to restore flexibility and prevent recurrence.
