Trigger finger occurs when inflammation restricts smooth movement of the finger tendon, causing locking or clicking during motion. What starts as mild stiffness can slowly become painful and limiting. At Dr Nikita Shetty Orthopaedic Surgeon in Mumbai, trigger finger treatment focuses on relieving pain while restoring natural finger movement.
