What
is Trigger Finger or Trigger Thumb?
"Trigger Finger" and "Trigger Thumb" is the term used to describe the
condition when the tendon sheath narrows around the tendon of the finger and/or thumb.
The tendon then
becomes inflamed and swollen. The medical term is
digital tenovaginitis stenosans. In more severe
cases, a lump or nodule actually forms on the tendon and
causes resistance to you opening your fingers and/or thumbs.
Basically, the swollen tendons (usually caused from overuse - repetitive stress - of the tendons) are not able to
move freely through the small "sockets" or "pipe
like sleeves". When they finally
do open or move, your finger will
"unlock", "snap", "pop" or "trigger" open - similar to the
action of releasing a trigger on a gun, hence the term
"trigger finger".
The "triggering" is more apparent in the morning and is
more common in women than in men, and in anyone with
diabetes.
Treating
Trigger Finger & Trigger Thumb
Getting some rest from the action or
activity that is causing overuse of the tendons in your
fingers and thumbs is always recommended. Some doctors
have prescribed a brace or splint to keep your fingers in
a more open position.
If you can avoid situations where you have to grip an
object or machinery handle for long sessions that will
help reduce the stress to your fingers.
NOTE: you can use Prolotex™ Gloves under a
splint or brace - helps speed up the healing.
Prolotex™
OPEN FINGERTIP Gloves are very effective in
treating "Trigger Finger" and "Trigger Thumb"
Why do
Prolotex™ gloves help prevent Trigger Finger?
The threads in Prolotex™ products are impregnated with a
safe formula of bio-ceramics that emit
beneficial far infrared rays (FIR). These waves of soothing
FIR energy penetrate deep into the tissues of your body and
basically increase the molecular activity of the cells.
I received
the gloves Tuesday afternoon, I type
with them on.
I was in agony from flexor tendinitis -
injury made worse by enforced and heavy
use. My doctor said it was quote
arthritis! I looked up trigger finger
and found the correct diagnosis
(actually, it's the thumb.) I am still
extremely sore, but overnight there was
a change, and now, Thursday afternoon, I
can bend the thumb without the
excruciating click!
I have no doubt that very soon my thumb
will be healed.
So, that's the report . I thank you so
much. I hope you get many such notes of
thanks! I wish you made small mats!
Now my question: when you say don't
expose the gloves to direct sunlight, I
assume that sunlight through glass panes
is okay? I'd be grateful if you could
let me know. I drive with them on, and
sit in a sunny window!

Increased molecular activity will help keep your hands
healthier and prevent the tendon sheath from becoming restricted
in the first place. The safe FIR waves help increase
the microcirculation in your fingers and thumbs. More
circulation means healthier cells & tissues.
