Trigger Point Injection
Trigger point injection is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat painful muscle knots known as trigger points. These tight areas can cause localized discomfort and referred pain. The injection helps relax the muscle, reduce pain, and improve overall movement in affected areas.
About Procedure
Trigger point injection is a targeted pain management technique commonly used for myofascial pain syndrome and chronic muscle tightness. A small amount of medication such as a local anesthetic, sometimes combined with a corticosteroid, is injected directly into the trigger point to relieve tension and improve blood flow. The procedure is quick and often performed in an outpatient setting, and it is usually combined with physiotherapy and stretching exercises for better long term results.
When to Consider
Trigger point injection is considered when patients experience persistent muscle pain, tightness, or tenderness that does not improve with rest, medications, or physical therapy. It is often recommended for conditions such as myofascial pain syndrome, tension headaches, fibromyalgia, and chronic neck or back pain where trigger points contribute to ongoing discomfort and restricted movement.
