Trigger Point Injections for Muscle Pain

If you’re feeling muscle pain after an accident or work injury, Trigger Point Injections can help in many ways, such as:

• Effective Pain Relief – Trigger Point Injections offer highly targeted and effective relief for muscle pain. By directly addressing the source of discomfort, these injections provide significant and immediate relief. This means you’ll experience a noticeable reduction in pain and discomfort.
• Improved Function and Mobility – These injections target and relax the tight bands of muscle fibers associated with trigger points. This helps restore normal muscle function, increase flexibility, and enhance range of motion. As a result, you can improve your mobility and perform daily activities with greater ease.
• Minimally Invasive Procedure – Trigger Point Injections are a minimally invasive treatment option for muscle pain. Unlike more invasive procedures or surgeries, these injections can be performed at an outpatient center or clinic. This means minimal disruption to your daily life and a quicker recovery time.
• Localized Treatment – These injections are delivered directly to the affected area with targeted treatment. It also minimizes the risk of systemic side effects often associated with oral medications. This localized approach ensures that the medication reaches the source of the pain and maximizes its effectiveness.
• Complementary to Other Therapies – This method can be used with other muscle pain treatments, such as physical therapy, exercise, and oral medications. With this multimodal approach, you can benefit from the synergistic effects. This means you’ll experience greater muscle pain relief and increased results.

By directly targeting trigger points, these injections can provide muscle pain relief when you need it.

During a Trigger Point Injection procedure, our doctors will locate a trigger point using palpation or ultrasound guidance. Once the trigger point is identified, the doctor can inject the medication directly into the muscle. While this may cause brief discomfort, it’s usually minimal and short-lived³.

After the injection, you’ll experience immediate muscle pain relief due to the anesthetic agent. However, the full effects of the medicine could take several days to develop. Our doctors usually advise patients to avoid strenuous activity for a day or two after the injection to allow it to take effect.
