Understanding Trigger Finger
Trigger finger, scientifically termed as stenosing tenosynovitis, manifests as pain, stiffness, and a catching or popping sensation when trying to bend or straighten the finger or thumb. The root cause is inflammation of the tendons in the affected digit, resulting in movement challenges and discomfort. For more details, check our Patient Information.
The Rise of Ultrasound-Guided Injections
Recent medical breakthroughs have revolutionised trigger finger treatment, making it more precise, efficacious, and safer. Ultrasound-guided injections merge the accuracy of ultrasound imaging with the therapeutic prowess of corticosteroid injections, promising swift and straightforward pain relief.

The Procedure Unveiled
Ultrasound-guided trigger finger injections employ real-time ultrasound imaging to visualise the inflamed tendon, adjacent structures, and the exact injection site. This technology empowers the clinical specialist to navigate the needle with unparalleled precision, guaranteeing the accurate delivery of the corticosteroid medication. Meet our experienced Team of specialists.
Why Choose Ultrasound-Guided Injections?
Ultrasound guidance significantly improves the accuracy of corticosteroid injections into the tendon sheath. Studies have shown that ultrasound guidance aids in disposing the corticosteroids successfully into the tendon sheath in 70% of all cases, compared to only 15% when the injection is performed blindly. This results in a higher and long-lasting positive outcome. Ready to get started? Book Now.

Patient Testimonial
Here’s a snippet from one of our satisfied patients:
“A few months ago, my ring finger started aching unexpectedly. Over time, it began getting stuck and would occasionally click as it straightened. This pain hindered simple tasks like opening jars. That’s when I discovered Complete Injections in Kent. The team was incredibly supportive, and I secured an appointment within two days. The specialist was gentle, explained the procedure in detail, and used the scanner to guide the needle during the injection. The relief was phenomenal, and the pain has since vanished!”
