What are Trigger Point Injections?

Trigger point injections (TPI) are a common treatment for painful areas of muscle that contain trigger points, or knots of muscle that form when muscles do not relax. These injections can help relieve muscle pain and improve range of motion by targeting specific areas of muscle spasm.

Common Conditions Treated

Trigger points can cause localized muscle pain and stiffness.

Fibromyalgia

Tender points in muscles associated with fibromyalgia.

Myofascial Pain Syndrome

Chronic pain disorder involving trigger points in muscle tissue.

Tension Headaches

Headaches caused by muscle tension in the neck and shoulders.

Sports Injuries
