Trigger Point Injections are used as a therapeutic treatment to alleviate muscle pain caused by trigger points, which are tight, sensitive areas in the muscle that can cause discomfort and stiffness.
Here’s a breakdown of what the treatment involves:
- What is a Trigger Point? Trigger points are small, contracted areas of muscle fibers that can develop when muscles are overworked or strained. They can cause localized pain or referred pain (pain that radiates to other areas of the body).
- The Treatment: During a trigger point injection, a medical professional uses a fine needle to inject a mixture of anesthetic (and sometimes corticosteroids or saline) directly into the trigger point. This helps relax the muscle, reduce inflammation, and alleviate pain.
- Benefits: Trigger point injections are effective for treating conditions like chronic muscle pain, fibromyalgia, tension headaches, or neck and back pain caused by muscle tightness. The treatment can provide quick pain relief, reduce muscle spasms, and improve mobility.
The procedure is minimally invasive, and while it may cause some temporary discomfort at the injection site, most patients report significant relief after the treatment.
