Targeted Relief with Trigger Point Injections*
Fast-acting, non-surgical therapy to relieve muscle knots and chronic tension.
When Tight Muscles Cause Widespread Pain
Trigger points are tight bands of muscle that irritate surrounding nerves, limiting motion and causing referred pain. Trigger Point Injections (TPIs) use a small needle to relax the muscle and restore function, often bringing immediate relief.
Symptoms We Treat
Muscle Knots
Neck & Shoulder Tightness
Low Back Pain
Myofascial Pain Syndrome
Chronic Tension Headaches
Sciatica-like Symptoms
How It Works
1. Assessment of Pain Areas
Palpation and imaging to identify trigger points.
2. Injection of Anesthetic or Saline
Relaxes the muscle and disrupts the pain signal.
3. Improved Function and Relief
Lasting relief with little to no downtime.
Who It’s For
Trigger Point Injections are ideal for:
-
Athletes with overuse injuries
-
Desk workers with tension buildup
-
Post-injury muscle tightness
-
Patients who haven’t responded to physical therapy
What to Expect
Are trigger point injections painful?
-
The injection itself feels like a quick pinch, followed by mild pressure or soreness.
-
Some patients feel an immediate release or “twitch” response in the muscle.
-
We use fine needles and offer numbing options to keep you comfortable throughout the procedure.
How long does relief last?
-
Many patients feel immediate or same-day relief, especially for tension-related pain.
-
Relief may last from several days to several weeks, depending on the severity and cause of the muscle tightness.
-
Results often improve with a series of treatments.
How many treatments will I need?
-
Treatment needs vary by patient, but most benefit from a series of 3–6 sessions, spaced about 1–2 weeks apart.
-
Some chronic pain conditions may require ongoing maintenance injections as part of a broader pain management plan.
Are there any side effects?
-
Side effects are usually mild and short-lived, including:
-
Temporary soreness or bruising at the injection site
-
Mild fatigue or lightheadedness
-
Very rarely, infection or nerve irritation (less than 1%)
-
-
Most patients return to daily activities right after the procedure.
