Trigger Finger & de Quervain's Treatment
Tendon sheath irritation causing catching in a finger or pain at the thumb-side wrist.
Overview
What Trigger Finger & de Quervain's Actually Is
Both conditions involve a tendon struggling to glide through a thickened sheath. Ultrasound-guided injection into the sheath — not into the tendon itself — has substantially better outcomes than a landmark-based attempt.
Symptoms patients describe
- A finger that catches or locks when bending
- A tender nodule in the palm at the base of the finger
- Pain on the thumb side of the wrist lifting a child or a kettle
- Symptoms worst in the morning
Diagnosis
How It's Confirmed Here
- 01
Hands-on exam
Each structure is loaded separately so the source is narrowed before any imaging is ordered.
- 02
Imaging review
Your existing films are reviewed independently by Dr. Hyzy — not just the outside report.
- 03
In-room ultrasound
Dynamic imaging while you move, so tissue quality and behavior are seen live.
- 04
Diagnostic guided injection
When more than one structure could be responsible, a targeted block confirms which one is.

How many injections can I have?
Placement matters more than count. Guided injections tend to work in fewer attempts, and we reassess rather than repeating indefinitely.
