HowWill ACustomBrace Help RelieveMyTrigger Finger?
At Hands for Living, we can create a custom brace specifically for your needs, aimed at blocking some of the motion of the affected finger(s) or thumb to prevent the “triggering” or pain. Our braces serve several functions and benefits, such as managing pain and promoting healing. Our dedicated hand therapists will conduct a thorough evaluation to examine the current levels of mobility in your hand/fingers and determine what brace will be best for you. From there, they will design a personalized treatment plan and custombrace that will help relieve pain, improve your range of motion, and increase strength in the affected hand and fingers. Additional benefits of customorthotics for the treatment of trigger finger include: 1. Speeding up recovery. If you have developed trigger finger, a custom brace can be created to assist in your recovery. Your hand therapist can also design a rehabilitation
program that specifically addresses your needs, focusing on helping you recover as quickly as possible. Thismay include strength and range of motion exercises (depending on what you need), in addition to your custom brace. 2. Preventing Additional Injuries. Custom braces can help aid you in avoiding additional injury to the affected hand/ finger(s) by allowing your body tomovemore freely and comfortably. Your hand therapist can also teach you several different exercises you can do with your custom device to make sure the affected area is still maintaining strength and function. Additionally, your hand therapist will help you learn tomaneuver with your device in new ways that will help you stay active while reducing the chance of additional injury during your recovery. 3. Potentially Avoiding Surgery. In some cases, a custom brace may help you avoid an invasive surgical procedure altogether. Any surgery has risks - of infection,
painful scarring, and a lengthy recovery time. Fortunately, it is possible that a brace and therapy can often correct the problemwithout the need for surgery at all. Your hand therapist can also provide you with targeted hand exercises that will help your body speed up its natural healing process. While surgery is sometimes unavoidable, it’s almost always better to eliminate the need for an invasive procedure if the problem can be treated with therapy. Contact Us Today!
