How I help treat your trigger finger?
Prior to recommending a treatment I will try, at your initial consultation , to confirm your diagnosis through an in depth review of your story, symptoms and examination of your hand and wrist.
I may perform some investigations to confirm the diagnosis, such as X-rays or ultrasound scan.
Once the diagnosis is made I then explain the customised treatment plan. I take my time to answer any questions or queries you may have, allowing us to then confirm and set your treatment plan in motion.
After treatment the aim would be to get back to normally activities as soon as possible.

Aftercare & support
Miss Phillips offers a revolutionary approach to hand surgery using Sono-Instruments® by Spirecut, an advanced percutaneous device designed for precision and safety under ultrasound guidance.
She specialises in minimally invasive ultrasound-guided procedures for conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome and trigger finger, reducing the need for open surgery while ensuring precise, targeted treatment.
For carpal tunnel release, the Spirecut device allows for the safe division of the transverse carpal ligament through a tiny pinhole incision, significantly reducing scarring, post-operative pain, and recovery time.
For trigger finger release, the device is used to carefully release the constricted tendon sheath with millimetre accuracy, avoiding open surgery and promoting faster return to function.
Patients benefit from:
- Minimal scarring and wound complications
- Faster recovery and reduced downtime
- A safe and precise procedure under real-time ultrasound guidance
