Trigger Point Injections
Pain Relief in a Single Shot
Trigger point injections are a specialized pain management technique that involves the injection of medication directly into trigger points, which are tight knots or bands of muscle fibers. By targeting these specific points, trigger point injections help to relieve muscle tension, reduce pain, and improve range of motion, providing effective relief for individuals suffering from chronic muscle pain and related conditions.

What are Trigger Point Injections?
Trigger Point Injections are a specialized pain management treatment that involves the precise injection of medication into trigger points within muscles. Trigger points are tight knots or bands of muscle fibers that can cause localized or referred pain. By directly targeting these trigger points with a combination of anesthetic and anti-inflammatory medications, trigger point injections work to alleviate muscle tension, reduce pain, and restore normal muscle function.
How Do Trigger Point Injections Work?
During a trigger point injection procedure, our pain management specialist will identify the specific trigger points through a thorough examination and palpation of the affected muscles. Once located, a small needle is inserted directly into the trigger point, and the medication is delivered precisely to the affected area. The medication works to relax the muscle fibers, reduce inflammation, and relieve pain, allowing for improved mobility and function.
Benefits of Trigger Point Injections:
Targeted Pain Relief: Trigger Point Injections provide targeted relief by directly addressing the source of your muscle pain. By releasing tension in the trigger points, these injections can effectively alleviate muscle pain and discomfort.
