Your Treatment Options for Trigger Finger Release

At Synergy Health Partners, we offer both non-surgical and surgical approaches to treat trigger finger. Our orthopedic specialists work with you to determine the most effective treatment based on the severity of your condition and your lifestyle needs.

  • Minimally invasive surgical techniques for faster recovery
  • Comprehensive care from diagnosis through full recovery in one location

Non-Surgical Treatments

Start With the Least-Invasive Options

Most patients improve without surgery. Our team takes a conservative-first approach with treatments designed to reduce pain, improve strength, and prevent future flare-ups.

Non-Surgical Hand & Wrist Treatments

  • Corticosteroid Injections Targeted steroid injections directly into the tendon sheath reduce inflammation and can provide significant relief from trigger finger symptoms. Many patients experience improvement within days of treatment.
    • Ultrasound-guided precision injection
    • Reduced inflammation and pain relief
  • Splinting Therapy Custom splints keep your finger in a straight position, allowing the inflamed tendon to rest and heal. This treatment works best for mild to moderate cases caught early.
    • Custom-fitted splints for optimal healing
    • Nighttime wear to prevent triggering
  • Physical Therapy Our specialized hand therapists guide you through exercises designed to improve tendon gliding and finger flexibility. Therapy includes gentle stretching and strengthening techniques.
    • Tendon gliding exercises
    • Massage and soft tissue mobilization
  • Activity Modification Our occupational therapists help you identify and modify daily activities that may be contributing to your trigger finger symptoms. This approach focuses on preventing further irritation while promoting healing.
    • Ergonomic assessments and recommendations
    • Adaptive tools and techniques training
  • Anti-inflammatory Medications Oral medications or topical treatments can help reduce inflammation in the tendon sheath. Your physician will recommend the most appropriate option based on your medical history and symptom severity.
    • Oral NSAIDs for systemic relief
    • Topical anti-inflammatory gels
Star
Studies show that up to 70% of patients with mild to moderate trigger finger experience significant improvement with non-surgical treatments within 8-12 weeks.

Surgical Options

If Surgery is Right for You

Procedures are determined after evaluation—this list is for education only.
Trigger Finger Release

Watch how our minimally invasive trigger finger release procedure restores smooth finger movement with minimal downtime.

Surgical Hand & Wrist Procedures

  • Percutaneous Trigger Finger Release This minimally invasive procedure uses a small needle to release the constricted tendon sheath through a tiny puncture in the skin. Most patients can return to light activities within a few days with minimal scarring.
  • Open Trigger Finger Release Through a small incision in the palm, your surgeon carefully releases the A1 pulley that's causing the triggering. This outpatient procedure provides excellent long-term results with a success rate over 95%.
  • Endoscopic Trigger Finger Release Using a tiny camera and specialized instruments, this advanced technique allows for precise release of the constricted tendon through an even smaller incision. Recovery time is typically faster than traditional open surgery.
Star
Over 95% of our patients experience complete resolution of trigger finger symptoms following surgical release, with most returning to normal activities within 2-4 weeks.

TB
Kind, forthright, helpful
TH
Great staff, professional and friendly, great doctor, all-around excellent experience for me
SH
Expected to see Dr. Bohm and wanted to discuss new issue; but saw PA (which is fine) and was asked about an old injection I had back in August
SB
I have not rarely worked with a physician who has it all--expertise, patience, great bedside manner, with attention to detail. I've said in the past and many times since that I believe he saved my hand post severe wrist fracture. Most recently, we talked about some numbness in that thumb, no pain, just annoyance. He explained what likely is the cause and my treatment options while leaving it totally up to me. His staff is also great
SM
Dr Kyle was so great. He helped me with out having to have surgery. His staff could communicate more.
SG
Dr Bohm is awesome! I was fortunate enough to be in the team’s office for a follow up with his colleague. That Dr (Kassa) noticed an ace bandage on my right hand/wrist and inquired about the injury. I explained to him that I was in extreme pain and was planning to see a specialist (different office) and the soonest I could get in was 1/12/25. He immediately said “No, we’re going to get you taken care of right now) they DID! I not only got to see Dr Bohm, he ordered X-rays, gave me a cortisone injection and made sure the meds I was prescribed were aligned with the plan of treatment he came up with on the spot! After the X-rays Dr Bohm sat with me to review them and he took his time to make sure I understood my diagnosis what that meant and all treatment options available to me. I was thoroughly impressed with his knowledge/ability & willingness to take the time to do that so articulately. I went to that office for a follow up regarding back/neck injections, which are great! To having a new hand specialist and being taken care of on the spot. When just hours before I was pacing the floor at home contemplating going to the ER. A place we all know would have done nothing but waste hours of my life. I couldn’t be more thankful to the people at this office and especially Dr Bohm. If you have the need for this type of Dr or any other Dr honestly, don’t waste your time looking elsewhere, this place is truly amazing. Filled with not only Dr’s but a staff that truly cares about the patient. That’s right, a Dr’s office full of people that care about there patients. It’s amazing to finally have one of these back!

RD
Very nice. Understanding
MF
Check-in staff did an awesome job helping me set additional appts and was super friendly! Dr. B was helpful as always and a pleasure to see. It did seem like the MA who brought me back may have been having a bit of a bad day. While she was proficient, she wasn’t super friendly. Maybe just having an off day or it was too early and she wasn’t awake yet :)
PG
Dr. Bohm is great! Explains everything and is informative and very knowledgeable. Pleasant to speak to.
