Does your finger catch, click, or lock painfully when you try to bend or straighten it?
Has it gone from annoying to excruciating?
Have splints, steroids, and surgery left you frustrated—or fearful of what’s next?
You’re not alone.
Trigger finger (stenosing tenosynovitis) is more than a minor inconvenience—it can deeply impact your work, hobbies, and quality of life. But too often, patients are told to “wait it out,” get yet another steroid injection, or go under the knife.
At Acupuncture & Wellness Clinic in Burlington, MA, Dr. Min Jeon, Lic.Ac., offers a powerful alternative: a non-invasive, drug-free treatment that addresses the root causes of trigger finger—not just the symptoms.
Why Conventional Treatments Often Miss the Mark
If you’ve already tried splints, physical therapy, anti-inflammatories, or even injections with little relief, there’s a reason. Traditional approaches often fail because they:
- Only reduce inflammation temporarily
- Don’t release the tight tendon sheath causing the locking
- Ignore underlying muscle imbalance and overuse patterns
- Treat the symptom but not the root cause
- Come with unwanted side effects—or involve surgery
Dr. Min’s Trigger Finger Recovery Protocol
At our clinic, Dr. Jeon uses a specialized, multi-layered approach combining clinical acupuncture with advanced ATP Resonance BioTherapy® to relieve the pain, inflammation, and mechanical restrictions of trigger finger—without drugs or surgery.
Here’s how it works:
- Release the Constricted Tendon Sheath
- Targeted acupuncture reduces tension and swelling in the tendon sheath
- Improves flexibility and stops the “catching” sensation
- Break the Inflammation Cycle
- ATP BioTherapy® reduces chronic inflammation at the cellular level
- Enhances tissue repair and speeds recovery
- Restore Smooth Finger Movement
- Improves blood flow and reduces scar tissue
- Restores natural tendon glide through the pulley system
- Address the Root Cause of Overuse
- Treats muscle imbalance in the hand, forearm, and wrist
- Corrects repetitive strain patterns that caused the problem
- Prevent Recurrence with Neuromuscular Re-Education
- Recalibrates hand coordination and grip mechanics
- Keeps you pain-free long after the treatments end

Real Patient Stories
“I Was Told Surgery Was the Only Option” – Janet, 52, Lexington, MA
“I couldn’t button my shirt without my finger locking painfully. My doctor said the next step was surgery, but I wanted to avoid that. After just 5 sessions with Dr. Jeon, my finger stopped clicking. I can now grip, type, and even garden again without pain. She gave me my hand back.”
“Trigger Finger from Years of Typing” – Brian, 44, Burlington, MA
“As a software engineer, my hands are my tools. When my finger started locking up, it scared me. Splinting didn’t help. Dr. Min used a combination of acupuncture and ATP therapy, and within 3 weeks, I had full mobility. It felt like she reached the root of the problem—not just the pain.”
Dr. Jeon Explains:
“Trigger finger isn’t just a hand problem—it’s a systemic pattern of strain and inflammation. Most treatments focus only on the finger. But we treat the entire kinetic chain: the tendons, the muscles, the nervous system. That’s how we get lasting relief—without surgery or drugs.”

✅ Treats the tendon and the muscle system
✅ Reduces inflammation and swelling naturally
✅ Restores normal biomechanics in the hand and forearm
✅ Drug-free, non-invasive, and effective
✅ Prevents future flare-ups by retraining movement patterns
