Palpating for adhesions and nodules that can be responsible for trigger finger.		Subsequent individual fiber strokes are used to release the tendons in the finger paying special attention to the bunched tissue on the sides of the knuckle, which may be inhibiting range of motion. The saddle of connective tissue that affects the most distal knuckle will often be restricted which can cause trigger finger. Release of this tissue oftentimes relieves the condition.

"As a chiropractor, having a trigger finger (it means it is stuck in one position) is a real problem. I had tried chiropractic, ultrasound, massage, treated it with heat and cold, and also tried trigger point work.

Then I went to a medical doctor who said, 'You need a shot of cortisone,' which I initially rejected.  Finally I tried the shot which helped for a while, but it came back. I had another shot and the painful trigger finger came back quicker. I was facing surgery which would have meant I could not work.

"I visited Ken Youngberg, and after just one session, it felt remarkably better. I returned for a second and had improvement. After the third session with Ken, my finger felt great. Now I have a monthly maintenance massage and have had no problems. What a relief. Thanks, Ken."
