    Trigger Finger Steroid Injection

    Fast, effective treatment to relieve finger locking, pain, and stiffness without surgery

    Trigger finger is a condition where a finger or thumb becomes painful, stiff, or “locks” when bending or straightening. It is caused by inflammation of the tendon sheath, making movement difficult and uncomfortable. 
    A steroid injection is a safe, minimally invasive treatment designed to reduce inflammation and restore smooth movement.

    Why Consider Trigger Finger Steroid Injection

    Trigger finger can significantly affect everyday hand function: 

    • Pain or tenderness in the palm or base of the finger

    • Difficulty straightening the finger, especially in the morning

    Early treatment helps prevent worsening stiffness.
