Finger Sprains & Dislocations – Getting Your Grip Back

What is it?

Finger sprains involve overstretching or tearing of ligaments, while dislocations occur when the bones in a joint are forced out of alignment. These injuries often result from sports activities, falls, or direct impacts.​

How to fix it?

Initial treatment focuses on reducing pain and swelling, followed by restoring joint alignment and mobility. In some cases, surgical intervention may be necessary for severe dislocations.​

How can a physiotherapist help?

Our team at Darwin Health Group:

• Stabilises the injured finger using splints or buddy taping.

• Guides you through controlled mobilisation exercises to restore movement.​

• Strengthens surrounding muscles to support the joint.​

• Educates on protective techniques to prevent future injuries.​

With appropriate physiotherapy, most individuals can return to their daily activities without long-term limitations.​
