Using finger splint to relieve pressure

Using finger splint to relieve pressure

Trigger finger is a common hand issue that occurs with the locking or triggering of a finger, 

pain in the middle joint, and tenderness with palpation at the base of the finger. Finger 

splints are pieces of medical equipment that people can wear to immobilize their injured 

finger and prevent further damage.

Finger splints are used to keep these vulnerable extremities in place while you heal from a 

finger sprain or break, or to help increase a limited range of motion from a chronic condition.

Using a splint or brace can help limit motion and allow your thumb to rest. This can be done 

with a finger splint.
