At John J. Giovanelli, DC, PC, we understand the discomfort and frustration that comes with trigger finger. You don’t have to put up with the pain and operate your life around it. Instead, seek trigger finger treatment in Peachtree City with Dr. Giovanelli. We’ll work to get you out of pain fast and learn how to minimize or eliminate pain associated with trigger finger.

What Is Trigger Finger?

Trigger finger, also known as stenosing tenosynovitis, is a condition that affects the fingers and can cause pain, stiffness, and difficulty with movement. It occurs when the flexor tendon sheath, which surrounds the tendons in the fingers, becomes inflamed and constricts the movement of the tendon.

How Chiropractic Can Help With Trigger Finger

Chiropractic care can be a helpful solution to alleviate the symptoms of trigger finger. Dr. John J. Giovanelli is a skilled chiropractor who specializes in treating hand and wrist injuries. He uses a comprehensive approach that not only targets the affected area, but also evaluates the entire kinetic chain. This means he will adjust the entire wrist and fingers to reduce pain and improve mobility, not just the affected finger.

Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy for Trigger Finger

One of the techniques used by Dr. Giovanelli to treat trigger finger is Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT). This therapy involves using high-frequency sound waves to reduce inflammation and break up adhesions. ESWT is a non-invasive treatment that can be a great alternative to surgery or corticosteroid injections.

Dr. Giovanelli is a certified extremity adjuster and is trained and endorsed by Chiropractic Hand & Foot Clinics Of America. This training allows him to have a more in-depth understanding of the hand and foot anatomy and be able to provide more specialized care to his patients. If you are experiencing symptoms of trigger finger, such as pain, stiffness, or a clicking sensation when moving your fingers, it’s important to seek treatment. Delaying treatment can lead to worsening symptoms and may eventually require surgery.
