Typical Symptoms:
Common Causes:
We provide focused manual therapy, therapeutic exercises, and joint protection strategies to address pain, swelling, and stiffness in injured fingers. By tailoring interventions, we help you regain grip strength, dexterity, and confidence in everyday hand use. At Be On The Move, we serve Palm Beach County residents—whether in Boynton Beach, Boca Raton, Wellington, or Lake Worth—who rely on their hands for work, hobbies, or daily tasks. Early treatments might include gentle mobilizations to reduce swelling, along with splinting to protect the injured ligament. As healing progresses, we introduce targeted exercises like putty work or finger dexterity drills to restore grip control. By combining these hands-on techniques with ergonomic advice, we aim to prevent future sprains or chronic stiffness.

Key Benefits:
Most finger sprains begin to show notable improvement within a few weeks, especially with consistent exercise and appropriate splinting or bracing. Full recovery can depend on the severity of the sprain, but timely therapy helps prevent chronic stiffness and instability. By following your therapist’s guidelines and performing daily finger exercises at home, you can return to normal hand function for writing, typing, or sports in a matter of weeks to a couple of months.
Do I need a referral for finger sprain treatment?
Insurance requirements vary; in Florida, you often need a referral within 30 days for physical therapy. Check your plan or contact us for details.
Should I rest my finger or keep it moving?
Early gentle movement (within pain-free limits) is important to prevent stiffness. We'll guide you on the correct balance of rest and movement.
Is your pain keeping you from fully enjoying your day?
Do you wish it would just disappear, but it continues to trouble you?
If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, we understand how frustrating and overwhelming persistent pain can be. That’s why we’re here to help. Our caring team of physical therapists will listen to your concerns, create a custom treatment plan just for you, and work by your side every step of the way—so you can get back to living life on your terms.
