Trigger Point Injections
How Are Trigger Point Injections Performed?
Trigger points typically manifest as tight muscle bands that
can refer pain to other regions of the body. They are usually
managed with physical therapy, stretching, and aerobic conditioning
and sometimes with injections. These injections do not require
any pre-procedural preparation. Trigger point injections are
performed in our offices without x-ray guidance (fluoroscopy).
A needling technique accompanied by medication (local anesthetic
with or without steroids) is performed directly into the muscle
or around the tendon or ligaments. The injection may reduce
inflammation and tightness in the specific area and therefore
reduce your pain.
