Have you heard of the it's your choice game? There's a video on the sticky post in this section and plenty on YouTube.
Basically you put the treat in your closed fist and just do nothing as she frantically tries to get it. When she backs off, you open your hand. If she goes for it again, close the fist. Only when she sits quietly does she get the treat. **some people will give the treat in the hand, others will reward with a different treat altogether. It's a good impulse control exercise that will help with treat training, and IMO you could do either. Giving the treat in the fist can set you up for a "wait" cue (as in, you can have this when I say okay) and giving a separate treat can set you up for a "leave it" cue (as in, you can NEVER have this item, but will get something else instead).
If she's painful, I'd start by wearing gloves.
Alternatively, you could train with toys as a reward: fetch or tug.
