Trigger Point Injections
Trigger point injections are a targeted treatment designed to alleviate pain associated with muscle knots or pain points in your body. These are areas of muscle tightness that can cause localized pain and may lead to referred pain in other parts of the body. By injecting a small amount of anesthetic or corticosteroid into the affected muscle, trigger point injections can provide prompt relief and improve function for individuals suffering from chronic muscle pain, tension headaches, and fibromyalgia.
