What causes trigger finger? can scoliosis causes it?

Tendon problem: Each flexor tendon has a sleeve. Sometimes those sleeves become tight and cause trigger finger symptoms. A local cortisone injection is usually very helpful. In more severe cases, surgery is needed. This is not related to scoliosis.

Not related: A trigger finger is caused by overuse of that finger/hand. It is unrelated to scoliosis, which is a sideways curve of the spine.

No relationship: Trigger fingers are a form of tendonitis related to overuse and certain medical conditions including diabetes and thyroid problems. Scoliosis is a curvature of the spine which can cause back pain and pinched nerves but not tendonitis.

Cause trigger finger: Trigger finger occurs from swelling or inflammation in the palm at the base of a finger where the flexor (bending) tendon enters the finger. This swelling leads to pain and sometimes popping and locking in one position as the finger is bent and straightened (so called 'triggering'). Direct trauma or overused of the hand for grasping can cause this, as can diseases like diabetes but not scoliosis.
