Trigger Point Injections

Trigger Point Injection is a medical treatment designed to relieve pain in specific areas of the body known as trigger points. These trigger points are tight bands of muscle causing pain and discomfort, often leading to chronic pain conditions. The procedure involves injecting a small amount of anesthetic or saline into the trigger point, which helps to relax the muscle and alleviate pain. This treatment can be used for various areas of the body, including the neck, shoulders, back, and limbs, effectively reducing pain and improving mobility.

Trigger Point Injection is suitable for individuals who experience chronic muscle pain, tension headaches, fibromyalgia, or myofascial pain syndrome. Patients typically expect to see results within a few days, with the effects lasting for several weeks. While the duration of relief varies from person to person, many find significant improvement in their symptoms after just one treatment.
