There is a painful and often disabling condition known as “trigger finger”. Trigger finger is a health problem in which one or more of the fingers will not straighten on its own. Patients with this condition will often have to use their opposite hand to manually straighten the locked finger.
Other patients may experience generalized stiffness or discomfort in the joints of their fingers but may have not yet developed a trigger finger. Sometimes this stiffness becomes worse in the morning shortly after awakening, and other times it’s more pronounced later in the day after prolonged or strenuous use of their hand.
If you have ever experienced pain or stiffness in your fingers, there is a good chance that you have an underlying condition that can be corrected with gentle chiropractic adjustments to the fingers, hand, or wrist.
Small misalignments of the hand and finger joints can occur as a result of repetitive stress or direct injury. These misalignments place a significant amount of stress on the finger joints. This may eventually lead to pain and stiffness in the fingers and hand.
Conditions such as trigger finger, arthritis, and hand stiffness respond extremely well to specialized chiropractic adjustments to the tiny bones and joints of the wrist and hand.
Our clinic has become known by many of the area health practitioners as the “place to go” when you’re suffering with a hand complaint. We take great pride in offering this unique chiropractic treatment option for the hand pain sufferers in our community.
If you use your hands repetitively or strenuously, we recommend that you ask us to check for restrictions or misalignments. Small misalignments of the bones in the wrist and hand can go undetected for a long period of time before they begin to develop symptoms.
Because of that it would be beneficial to have your hands checked and adjusted periodically.
