Using Indexes to Bypass Locks

One of the issues you'll face with SQL Server is blocking which is caused by other processes that are holding locks on objects.

This is a common process that runs within SQL Server to ensure data integrity, but depending on how transactions are run this can cause some issues. Are there ways to get around blocking by using different indexes to cover the queries that may be running?
