Relieve Muscle Knots. Restore Motion.
Target painful trigger points with simple, in-office injections from specialists who care.
What Are Trigger Point Injections?
Trigger points are tight, painful “knots” in muscle fibers that can cause localized discomfort or radiating pain to other areas. These are often caused by muscle overuse, injury, stress, or poor posture.
Trigger point injections (TPIs) are quick procedures where a small needle is used to inject medication—usually a local anesthetic, sometimes with a corticosteroid—directly into the trigger point to release the muscle knot and provide pain relief.
Conditions Commonly Treated with TPIs
Trigger point injections may help relieve symptoms from:
- Myofascial pain syndrome
- Tension headaches
- Neck or shoulder stiffness
- Low back pain
- Fibromyalgia
- Muscle pain after auto accidents
- Referred pain from tight muscle bands
What to Expect During Treatment
- You’ll be examined by a licensed provider who will identify the trigger point(s).
- The area will be cleaned and a small needle will be used to inject medication directly into the tight muscle.
- The procedure takes only a few minutes and usually involves little to no downtime.
- Some patients feel relief almost immediately; others within a few hours to a couple of days.
- Multiple sessions may be recommended for lasting benefit.
