Services are intended to support symptom management and wellness, not to diagnose or cure any medical condition.
About Trigger Point Therapy
What It Is
Trigger point injections are a minimally invasive technique used to address hyperirritable spots in muscle tissue—commonly referred to as "trigger points." These trigger points can develop as a result of muscle strain, postural stress, or repetitive motion. A trigger point injection typically involves the administration of a small amount of medication—such as a local anesthetic—with or without other agents, directly into the affected area.
How It Works
During a trigger point injection, a provider identifies the affected muscle area through palpation and patient feedback. A thin needle is then inserted into the trigger point to help relax the muscle and reduce localized tension. Injections may include a local anesthetic, corticosteroid, or no medication at all (dry needling), depending on the clinical approach. This service is often part of a broader plan that may include physical therapy or stretching.
What To Expect
During your appointment, a licensed provider will assess your symptoms and determine whether trigger point injections are appropriate for you. The session is usually brief and performed in-office. Some patients may experience mild soreness at the injection site. Most individuals return to daily activities shortly afterward, although strenuous exercise may be postponed for 1–2 days. Multiple sessions may be recommended based on your response and care plan.
