Trigger finger treatment is needed when a finger locks, clicks, or suddenly releases during movement. Dr Nikita Shetty evaluates how tendon inflammation is affecting finger motion and daily comfort. Many people initially ignore the stiffness, but over time, the finger may get stuck more frequently.
The condition occurs when the tendon sheath becomes tight, restricting smooth gliding of the tendon.
