The cause of Trigger Finger (TF), also called Stenosing Tenosynovitis, is related to an injury of a joint in the finger called the A1 pulley which may thicken, making it difficult for the flexor tendon to move through it as the finger bends to pull a trigger, grab a ski pole or a tennis racket. This condition can occur in all of your fingers, including your thumb, which is called Trigger Thumb. When the finger releases from its contraction, you may hear a popping sound and feel some pain or the finger may not straighten at all.

  • A small lump at the base of the finger
  • Pain when straightening finger
  • Stiff finger
  • Locked finger
The long term success of Dr. Greenberg’s patients is attributed to a specialized approach to the examination process. Deemed “The Greenberg Method,” this diagnostic approach not only looks into the area of damage and pain, but also evaluates the mechanics and structure of the bone and joints related to the area of the pain. For instance, the symptoms of Trigger Finger , may be exacerbated by damage to the ligament and tendon structures of the elbow and wrist. In executing The Greenberg Method, Dr. Greenberg often discovers that conditions experienced in one area of the body are often rooted in a different area that hasn’t been treated before. While an isolated joint treatment ignores physiology and the evaluation of movement, The Greenberg Method’s full-body examination produces a comprehensive diagnosis and treatment plan. In return, the patient experiences a greater reduction in pain and improvement in function, which helps them get back on their feet to resume their daily routines, pain free.

Dr. Greenberg created the The Greenberg Method treatment to empower the body to heal itself. He and his team use Prolotherapy, Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) and Stem Cell treatments, to activate the body’s natural healing components, including stem cells to promote healing in the wrist and hand and regenerate injured soft tissues.

Dr. Greenberg will discuss the objectives of each treatment and explain the therapeutic option that is most appropriate for your case.

The Greenberg Method is a good choice for people who are looking for a non-invasive alternative to surgery. TGM treatments have lower infection risks than surgeries, shorter recovery times and are opioid-free. Dr. Greenberg is a holistically-centered physician who not only treats your physical injury but he also addresses You. We support your recovery through proper nutrition, supplements, and innovative therapies to nurture a sense of wellness for your body and mind.
