In this video, we’re going to talk about how to get rid of trigger finger pain.
When you have pain on one side of your body, the best way to get rid of that pain is to massage the opposite side. Why? Your body works like a circuit. Electrical signals are sent back and forth between nerves. When this signal is interrupted by an injury, the pain can get stuck in that area.
This means that when you have right trigger finger pain, it can help to massage and stimulate your hand and fingers on the left side of your body. Doing this will essentially help rewire your brain to restore the broken circuit.
In this video, I demonstrate this technique using two helpful participants. If there is residual pain from surgery or just pain in general, use this technique for pain relief. Give this technique a try, and let me know how it works for you in the comments below.

Thanks for watching. I hope this helped explain how to get rid of trigger finger pain using the “opposite” technique. I’ll see you in the next video.
I had trigger thumb on my left hand several years ago. I had a physical therapist friend tell me I would need surgery, but could to cortisone shots first to prolong it. I am so against those shots, and surgery if not absolutely needed. So I did my research. I looked up everything I could find on the subject. I massaged both hands and stretched both thumbs until it cleared up. No surgery! Hasn't come back and that was about 5 years ago
Wow thank goodness. It’s happened to me twice and I was getting scared! What kind of massages did you do?
I don't want to do shots or surgery either
Pls give the technique
Wonderful. Breaking the scar tissue (adhesions) is the most important thing to bring the mobility back. Then massaging not only the affected part but also a whole hand. Just to make the muscles kind of 'lose'. That should speed up healing. Good luck.
I would love to know what stretches/techniques you were using. 🙂
I can’t look to any remedies unless I watch Dr. Berg… the best of elite… how smart and genuine you are. God bless you Amen.
It worked when I massaged the same finger on opposite hand. My finger was hurting me all day today and after 5 minute vigorous rubbing of opposite finger while watching video , which admittedly does not look very convincing.,. the pain is almost all gone. Unbelievable. Thank you doctor.
Thank you! I will try this
DR BERG THANK YOU!!! I had been suffering from a trigger finger for the past three months, and now in just 15 minutes the pain was so significantly reduced. THANK YOU!
Dear Dr. Berg; I had a massive car crash in Feb. 2014, and smashed both hands. Have had dominant hand trigger finger and other right-side issues ever since. Still have a lot of swelling in right hand which is suspected rheumatoid (going to see someone very soon on that). I was doing this technique to myself while you were teaching/doing it in the video, and was amazed at the relief. Especially, since I've been through Hell and back with X-rays, MRIs, ultra sounds, and teams of sports injury folks (RMT, Chiro, Osteo, Physio, Acupuncture) working on me with no significant results after the main part of swelling and discolouration had simmered down initially. THANKS SO MUCH!!! Will continue to self-remedy and of course, use your massage tool too.
Crazy. Like many of the other comments, I was massaging my hand during the video and my trigger finger on my opposite hand found some relief. I saw another one of Dr. Berg's pressure point remedies for a sore throat and was totally amazed. Thanks Dr. Berg!!!
I have locked tendon index finger, left hand, from an accident, had surgery and went through physical therapy with improvement but now back to locked position. Going to start doing this with great anticipation for unlocking and relieving all the pain. Thank you Dr. Berg.
i just tried this and it actually reduced the pain in my trigger finger substantially.
Dr Berg you are a legend. I am suffering from the same. Very good relief within minutes. Thank you so much.
I was watching another video on the same topic and saw this video while scrolling at the same time. Switched to this video, tried on myself what was taught and felt almost immediate alleviation of pain. I give a 10.
This is so awesome! I had trigger finger before on my 2 thumbs and surgery fixed it. Now I have another one 10 years later.This worked very well on my middle finger on the right hand. Thanks Dr Berg! 😊
Do u know the cause of your trigger finger? Cuz i got my trigger thumb out of nowhere!
wow! I have just started to get trigger finger in my thumb, I started massaging like you said an it does bend better without locking up. I can hardly believe this. thanks doc.
Question for Dr Berg: Do you also have a video about "Dupuytren disease" or called " Dupuytren's contracture" ?? And what the realation is with food/vitamines and exercise? Or how to prevent it?
You are so extraordinary and what I love is that you E X P L AIN what’s happening to us so we UNDERSTAND 🙏🏻Respect Dr Berg
thank you Dr. Eric Berg developed trigger finger last may 19 2018 after hurting my hand and now its not hurting that much and what's more amazing my finger does not lock or click anymore god bless you Dr. Eric Berg you are truly a God send
It works I’m so glad I found this video! Thank you
Love that demonstrations to combat the pain👍🏾
Thank you Dr Berg! This is so uselful.
For me, taking Alpha Lipoic Acid supplements cured my very bad trigger finger completely, in a week. I would wake up and my finger was completely “locked” into place. Now it is completely normal.Alpha lipoic acid also reduces peripheral neuropathy significantly.
Hi, can you please temme the dosages?
@@maheshtanay …sure. I take 600 milligrams a day.
@@hertzair1186 thnx man
Exactly what causes of finger trigger?
Can you tell me the dosage
Yesss. It works. Pain for 2 months. Gone in 5 minutes. Thank you so much!!!
WOW! Super cool, Dr, B! Thanks so much!!!
Amazing! Thx, Dr. Berg!
God bless you Dr Eric Berg.Million thanks Dt Eric.
OMG! This is CRAZY!! I have had semi-locked right index trigger finger for about a month. Hate pain meds, surgery, all that baloney, including cortisone shots so mostly tried to just ignore the chronic pain. The pain would rock between 2 to 5 on a daily basis but never totally gone. Took ibuprofen twice during the past two weeks. I ran across this vid while taking a break from chores and started massaging the left index finger area. Did not find the magic spot, but continued anyway for about 15 minutes. Went back to chores cleaning bathrooms, laundry, etc for about 20 minutes. Took another little break and noted that for the first time in a month or more, my right index finger is not totally locked. I can actually make a tightly closed fist!! Still some pain but maybe a 2, definitely not a five! AMAZING! I will continue working with this for a complete restoration to normal. THANK YOU!! ❤️❤️❤️
I had this problem for two months just happened to watch this and did the exercises it works wow
Wow that is wonderful! Thank you
I will definitely work on this. Dr Berg helped me get rid of left knee pain by massaging my right knee and thigh👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Wow, really helped my trigger finger pain. Now going to work in my osteoarthritis in right thumb. Thank you Dr. Berg 😀
Thank you so much this long going 1yr agony is healed, have been watching your videos 2wks and just listened live 1st time ended several minutes ago. Perhaps see you live soon, starting your keto diet as well. Trying a healthier family life style Chow!! Stay amazing 👏
The solution is to break up the scar tissue that has built up at the affected site/finger, and/or reduce inflammation of the tendon with massage so it passes unimpeded through the A1 pulley. No amount of off-site massage is going to accomplish this.
Trying both ,dubious about dr bergs technique, I will say this though there is a painful spot on opposite finger.....weird!
so HOW does one break up the scar tissue???????????????
Thankyou Dr Berg. I have a similar condition in my Rt hand so I will apply this massage to correct the problem with my Lt hand. In massage therapy we call it grateful pain when relieving muscle discomfort.
That is some good info.
O my God, it worked amazingly. I tried only for may be a minute and my finger pain came down from 8-9 to 3-4.
Thank you so much for this little tutorial.
Great, Dr Eric
I was rubbing my joints while watching this. By end of this video my pain is almost gone. Thank you so so much. You are amazing!

Wow, this is the absolute truth: I accidentally punched a wall during a bad dream a month ago and my index finger was hurting for a month, so I was searching online for relief and googled index finger pain, then I found your site and did your exercise on the opposite finger just now and the pain seems completely gone. I can't believe it! Thank you, Dr. Berg -- you are amazing! I am so grateful! While I realize I might have to do this again and again (I don't know but it stands to reason) you have shown me how to handle this smoothly. Wow! (By the way, I am already subscribed and belled to your great videos! Thank you again!)
Thank you that does help.
Thanks Dr. E. Berg. This exercise did decrease the pain on my left finger. Wow! Keep up with the great job of educating the people on health and wellness.
Thank you Dr. berg .
thats amazing. it works!
Very nice remedy
Thank you doc
Thank you dok God bless.
It also worked for me. Thank you Dr Berg! Been in pain for months.
It works,! While watching the video , i ask my daughter , " lets try it. She massage my left hand ( the middle finger )not so much pain when i closed my hand..but the lock of my finger still there.. We need to do it again..but i can feel better! Thank for the video
:::))
@@Drberg what if you have this in both hands?
This really works! I was skeptical, but after a few minutes working on the opposite point, I can bend my finger without the pain & popping. It just isn't there anymore. Unbelievable! Thank you Dr. Berg!
I'm so glad it helps!
not so sure how and why but it does help!! thank you !!!
Omgosh! I had heard of this mirror technique many years ago but didnt think to use it on this weird thumb issue i woke up with a couple of weeks ago. Dr Berg you are an absolute legend.
Thank you for posting dr berg. I was rubbing my opposite hand to try and pin point and relieve the pain. This video helped ! Thank you for everything.
It actually works!!!!... Thank you so much!
Dr. Berg you are just great. I have this pain for a couple of days now and it was getting worse every day and now it has just disappeared within five minutes.
O my God it’s true I have had my trigger fingers thrice in a year for two years. Despite the vast nutritional indormation and practice. I tried this on my own and it’s like magic. No pain!!!! No clicking of fingers.!!!
@morrismartialarts I heard that it kept coming back even after surgery. Did you try an injection?
The question is how long it's gonna last.
It’s temporary. Sorry. But it lasted for 2 months only. It recurred. it’s just a security blanket when you have no other choice of relief and you dont wanna abuse or frequently take pain relievers. I also did not opt for chiro or any mechanical manipulations. The ultimate reliever since then and no recurrence was injection from Ortho surgeon. But if you have comorbidities like diabetes or hypertension or even increased weight, then they should also be controlled and considered before the injection.
Alevtina i replied and only those who do not overuse their fingers specially the thumb and ring, can benefit from the injection but when the tendon gets so thick and all other relief options are exhausted, then surgical procedure called tenolysis or release of trigger finger is considered.
@@lolabebeng3298 Thank you. I don't think that I overuse it, just cooking and wash the dishes helping my daughter's family.And it happened a month ago. I started physiotherapy , just two weeks ago :ultrasound and exercises. My appointment with a hand -doctor is gonna be in a month. I cannot wait what he will tell me.
Ohh Gawd... It seriously works...Thank you so much for putting this video out. I was like struggling with this annoying pain for so many weeks now...even after taking medicine....Thanks
Again Thank you Doc
Anytime!
I appreciate when Doctor doin some lessons here at youtube rather than spending and going to hospital or a real doctor will rip-off your money .
It really works, amazing.
This really helped!
Glad you found it helpful!
Wow , I felt the relief right away, I have trigger finger in both hands and the same finger , one side has always been worse than the other, I’ve been working it for quite some time and the opposite side has been recovering and the one I’ve been working has stayed pretty much the same, after watching this video, it all makes sense.
Thanks so much, that worked well.
You're very welcome
seems to work! thanks...bruce
Wow it worked like a magic. Thank you Dr Berg
Thanks a million Dr. Berg...
You're welcome. Hope this will help you.
Oh my goodness! I was watching this because my thumb has been clicking when I bend it and it's especially worse in the mornings. So I was massaging my opposite thumb whilst I watched and after 5 mins my thumb had stopped clicking.
Just did this and it worked for me.
Wow awesome
Should have the camera FOCUS on the hand, on how to rub on correct procedure!!
Wow! I worked on my opposite thumb as you did this and the painful thumb feels a lot better...I'm LOL! Cuz its so amazing. Your The Best DR. Berg 💜🙏💜
Thank you so much Dr berg you are really amazing God 🙏🙏 bless ..
Thanks a lot Doc... Gosh! I did work! Wow!
Informative

Wow it work DR: berg thank you 🙏🏽 at the moment
Most welcome!
Thanks very much doctor.. I am Indonesia
It worked for me. I don’t care what other people said. Thank you dr. Berg.
Thank you sir
Most welcome
To think people go for injections and surgery. So amazing how the body and brain works together.
I have a trigger finger-- 4th on the left. I tried massaging on the right 4th finger, and the sorest area-- surprisingly sore was on the back of my right hand over the bone. I worked on that, then found a sore spot on the right palm.
Now I've got smooth movement and no pain from the trigger finger.
Tried moving the finger again and there was some reluctance to move, but it's better than usual. I'll be pursuing your method.
This is the most effective among the other videos with same goal
Hi Dr. Berg,
I have a trigger thumb on the right hand for several weeks now and it hurts badly. It does not go away even with the medication which the doctor prescribed me. Does the same method by pressing on the left thumb my own work for me as well or I will need someone to do it me? Please advise. Thank you.
I did this and its really work
Hello Dr.Berg, How many times I have to do this to relieve the pain. The massage relieves the pain momentarily and pain comes back to the same level prior to the massage.I am facing the exact same issue as the person in this video.Does this make the trigger finger go away? Please suggest your advice. Thanks
i have early signs of trigger finger pain on 8 of my fingers (all except the 2 thumbs). I gotta try this. living with so much pain everyday, while doing housework, cooking, cleaning, and hobbies, on top of working, just leaves me in despair alot of times. it's as if the pain just wouldn't leave me. let's hope it works
It really works! thanks God & thanks a lot Doc, for this amazing video my pain was gone
I have this last 6 months.My Dr put cortison injection.It was worst & more pain Dr told to do operation.I did't accept.Now I did your exercise.80% is Ok.super.Thanks a lot.Universe blessing.👍👌🙏🙏
you should make a video on importance of organic fruits and vegetables!! I am curious!
I love gardening and eat all the vegetables that grow in my backyard, raw or cooked. Mustard green, spinach, broccoli, kale, mint, parsley, basil, green onion, garlic, ginger, radish, turnip, okra , squash, bitter gourd, fenugreek , beans, tomatoes, sweat potatoes, salads peppers , capsicum, and some other kind of herbs of which I don’t know the names in English.(bathoo, cholai, mako) . I am 76, active, medicine free, healthy except for this trigger finger which I noticed 2 months ago. Since then I have been trying to handle it with massage or some exercise. I will try this technique and see what happens.
Amazing. Knuckle on ring finger of right hand. I wonder how long relief will last. Though- Happy to know it can be relieved for any period.
It works!
I started doing this exercise while watching the video. Wow!! I definitely feel better on my trigger finger. Absolutely amazing how This works. Thank you so much Doctor 😊🙏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Can you please please make a Dupuytrens disease video. Thank you
My wife has trigger finger and I watched this video and applied pressure and massage for one minute and her pain went from 4 to 0! Amazing, that's why I'm a fan of Dr. Berg.
So glad it helped!
WOW! I was hesitant to try but it did work! Lots of chores today after a week of being a typing demon and my left finger was triggering badly. i did this as the video played and it work!! Its amazing! TY so much Dr Berg!
Wow. Dr. Berg...you are the Doctor! Thanks for the video. I tried to learn bass guitar Aug 2023 and my index finger...right below the base of the finger has been sore ever since. I saw a physical thearpist to no avail. I was sched to get a Prolotherapy injection this week. No way would i take a steroid injection. My finger has never locked up but it feels like it wants to. This bilateral massage has really made a difference. How many times a day would you recommend??
Ty it worked
You're welcome
Lol, I meant 'learned' from. Now, if I can just work on my vision!
Dr. Berg, great video, but what if you have pain in both hands already?
Once again Dr. Berg has done it! My carpal tunnel flared up from my fingers to my shoulder after cooking and cleaning a few days in a row. Doing your technique has eased my pain! Thank you so much for all you do!!!
