— Trigger Point Injections
Release the knot, release the pain.
Quick relief for painful muscle knots using local anesthetic or saline to relax tense muscle fibers.
— What it is
Trigger Point Injections
A trigger point is a tight, irritable band inside a muscle that refuses to let go. It can be tender to touch, refer pain to other areas, and keep an entire region — neck, shoulders, upper back — locked in tension. A trigger point injection interrupts that cycle directly at the knot.
- A thin needle is placed into the taut band of muscle and a small amount of local anesthetic (or saline) is injected.
- The needle itself helps disrupt the contracted fibers while the anesthetic reduces local pain signaling.
- Several trigger points can often be treated in one short visit.
- Relief is frequently noticed quickly, sometimes during the visit itself.
— Who it helps
This may be right for you if
You have tender, rope-like knots in your neck, shoulders, or back.
Pressing on one spot reproduces pain that spreads elsewhere.
Tension headaches follow neck and shoulder tightness.
Desk work, driving, or an old injury keeps the same muscles locked up.
Massage and stretching help only briefly.
