trigger finger therapy gloves

I am getting my second cortisone shot for trigger finger tomorrow - I found this website for gloves (far infrared gloves) for aid in hand problems. What do you think?

I had a trigger finger for about one year. My sister-in-law
recommended an acupuncturist who had helped her to get her trigger
finger back to normal within 10 sessions. Reluctanltly I finally went to
see her (I don't like needles) and all I needed was 3 sessions. My finger
came back to normal at 100% within 3 months just like my sister-in-
law. I had been told it could only be treated which surgery. Needless
to say I was very happy to cancel the surgeon appointment. It has been
more than 6 months now and I still have no symptoms at all.

My father was scheduled for surgery, for his trigger finger! I recommended that he try acupuncture! He went twice, his finger got better and he canceled his surgery and hasn't had any problems with that finger since!

Thanks for posting that, kkd. I wish more people would post positive results from accupuncture as I had no idea this was effective for that condition.

Hi, MaryAnn.

Acupuncture can be a miraculous remedy for this condition! Certainly worth a try.

In the long run, though, I would hedge my bets about recurrance by learning and practicing SR. The acupuncture may not work the next time.

Thanks to Life, Sally & kkd.
