Trigger Finger is a condition where a finger gets stuck in a bent position and then suddenly straightens with a snap. It happens due to inflammation of the tendon sheath and can make everyday activities frustrating. At Dr Nikita Shetty’s clinic in Mumbai, personalized care helps restore smooth, pain-free finger movement.
Signs That Need Attention

- A clicking or popping sound when bending a finger
- Pain or stiffness at the base of the finger or thumb
