Trigger Point Injection

Non-Surgical Treatments

Start With the Least-Invasive Options

Non-Surgical Pain Management Treatments

• Trigger Point Injections Our primary treatment uses precise needle insertion to deliver anesthetic and anti-inflammatory medication directly into muscle knots. This minimally invasive procedure can provide immediate or near-immediate relief from chronic muscle pain.
  • Local anesthetic injections for immediate pain relief
  • Corticosteroid combinations for longer-lasting results
  • Dry needling technique when medications aren't preferred
• Physical Therapy Our on-site physical therapists work with you to address muscle imbalances and movement patterns that contribute to trigger point formation. Therapy helps maintain the benefits of your injections and prevent future occurrences.
  • Manual therapy and soft tissue mobilization
  • Stretching and strengthening exercises
  • Postural correction and ergonomic training
• Medication Management Our physicians may prescribe muscle relaxants, anti-inflammatory medications, or topical treatments to complement your injection therapy. We carefully monitor your response and adjust medications as needed.
  • Muscle relaxants for chronic tension
  • Anti-inflammatory medications to reduce tissue inflammation
  • Topical analgesics for targeted pain relief
• Lifestyle Modifications Our team provides guidance on stress management, sleep hygiene, and activity modifications that can reduce trigger point formation. These changes help maximize the effectiveness of your treatment plan.
  • Stress reduction techniques and relaxation training
  • Ergonomic workplace and home environment assessments
  • Sleep position optimization and supportive equipment recommendations

Many patients experience significant pain relief within hours of their trigger point injection, with effects typically lasting 3-6 months.
