Have you ever experienced this?
👉 A “click” when bending or straightening a finger
👉 Morning stiffness with locking in a bent position
👉 Pain when forcing the finger straight
This condition is commonly known as Trigger Finger (Locking Finger) — medically called stenosing tenosynovitis of the flexor tendon.
When the tendon becomes inflamed and thickened, it can no longer glide smoothly through its sheath, causing catching, pain, and locking.
Common Contributing Factors
🔸 Frequent phone & computer use
🔸 Repetitive gripping or housework
🔸 Manual labor
🔸 Cold exposure or cold-prone constitution
🔸 More common in women and middle-aged adults
🌿 Acupuncture – A Gentle & Effective Early Treatment
Many people worry when they hear “tenosynovitis,” thinking steroid injections or surgery are the only options.
In fact, early to mid-stage trigger finger responds extremely well to acupuncture.
⭐ Advantages of Liu’s Acupuncture Technique
✔ Gentle & low discomfort
✔ Fast relief of pain and locking
✔ Improves tendon-sheath mobility
✔ Reduces recurrence risk

By unblocking meridians, improving circulation, and releasing local adhesions, finger movement becomes smooth and natural again.
