Trigger point injections are used to address painful areas of muscle containing trigger points, otherwise known as knots. These knots can be felt beneath the skin and may twitch involuntarily when touched, potentially trapping or irritating surrounding nerves, causing referred pain. Trigger point injections for pain can treat many muscle groups including those in the arms, legs, lower back, and neck. Additionally, they are used to treat conditions such as fibromyalgia, chronic tension headaches, and Myofascial Pain Disorder that does not respond to other treatments. What happens during trigger point injection therapy? Our pain management doctors administer trigger point injection therapy in about 5 minutes and patients remain awake throughout the procedure. Treatment involves a small needle being inserted into the trigger point and a medication injected into the area, which will alleviate pain.
