Trigger Point Injections

Service Description

A trigger point injection can help soothe muscle pain, especially in your arms, legs, lower back and neck. It also can be used to treat fibromyalgia, tension headaches and myofascial pain. Trigger points are painful “knots” in your muscles. They form when a muscle can’t relax. Sometimes you can feel these knots when you rub your muscle. Injecting small amounts of anesthetic and steroid into the trigger point can help alleviate the pain. Trigger point injection may be right for you if your muscle pain has not improved with other treatment, including pain medication and physical therapy. Talk to your physician about it.
