Trigger Point Injections

Trigger point injections are a pain management treatment that involves injecting a local anesthetic, sometimes combined with a steroid medication, into a trigger point to relax muscles and relieve pain.

A trigger point injection can help soothe myofascial pain, especially in the neck, shoulder, arms, legs, and lower back. Trigger points are painful “knots” in muscles that can be sensitive to touch and/or pressure. They may form after acute trauma or by repetitive micro-trauma, leading to stress on muscle fibers

Most of our patients use trigger point injections in conjunction with other treatments, such as massage therapy, physical therapy, and acupuncture, to tackle the pain from every angle.
