CHIROPRACTIC CARE AND TRIGGER FINGER

June 09, 2026•1 min read

Trigger finger occurs when the tendon that bends the finger becomes irritated or thickened, making it harder to glide smoothly. The finger becomes stuck in a bent position and may snap or “click” when straightened. Symptoms can include stiffness, tenderness in the palm, and locking of the finger. While injections or surgery are sometimes recommended, conservative care can help. Chiropractic and manual therapies focus on improving joint mobility, reducing soft tissue tension, and supporting healthy hand and wrist mechanics to decrease strain on the affected tendon.

Key Insight:
Improving joint motion and reducing tendon irritation may help restore smoother finger movement and reduce triggering.

★★★★★

Excellent care, from the person at the front desk (very pleasant to all who were checking in, including myself), to my masseuse (Kathleen?) who had already read my intake form and asked clarifying questions as it was my first visit. She covered all area I had mentioned. I went here because it was on my insurance company’s list of cover d providers, and I’m glad I did.

I had my first massage with Heather and it was one of the best massages I’ve had! She worked through the knots on my neck and shoulders. The bed was heated and it went low enough for me to get on East (I’m 5’ tall). I also see Kathleen regularly and I love her! She uses lavender which I love. Sometime I feel chatty and we have the same vibe. Highly recommend them!

Most in depth chiropractic experience I've ever had. The focus isn't just on getting the cracks, but more of a holistic approach. We did some lazer therapy and after each session they would have me lay on a "bed" of ice or heat while a machine rolled my back out. It was great. The whole office staff is very nice and they ladies at the front always remembered my name when I walked it. 10/10 experience.

I had just gotten off the plane from the East Coast. I was in so much pain with Siatica. I called this office and they got me right in. Dr. Peter worked on me and was very thorough. I was able to enjoy my week with my son with little to no pain. I would highly recommend In Touch Chiropractic to everyone! The office is super friendly and better than anyone I have seen on the East Coast. Definitely the place to go if you’re in pain like I was!
