Trigger Point Injections
Trigger Point Injection Therapy is a minimally invasive procedure designed to relieve pain caused by trigger points—tight knots of muscle fibers that can form from injury, overuse, or chronic conditions. These trigger points often lead to localized pain, muscle stiffness, and a limited range of motion.
At Innovative Pain and Wellness, our experienced providers use advanced image-guided techniques and clinical expertise to accurately identify and target painful trigger points. A carefully measured injection of anesthetic and anti-inflammatory medication is delivered directly into the affected muscle, helping release tension, reduce inflammation, and promote relaxation.
This treatment works by calming irritated muscle fibers, improving mobility, and breaking the cycle of chronic pain. Many patients experience immediate relief, and trigger point injections can also serve as a valuable diagnostic tool in pinpointing the true source of discomfort.
Our compassionate team at IPW understands how chronic pain impacts every aspect of life. That’s why we create personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient’s unique needs and goals. Whether used as a standalone treatment or part of a comprehensive pain management program, trigger point injections can help restore comfort, function, and quality of life.
This condition is characterized by the presence of trigger points, which are hypersensitive areas within the muscles that can cause localized pain and referred pain to other areas. Trigger point injections can help relieve the pain and restore normal muscle function.
Trigger point injections can be beneficial for individuals with fibromyalgia, a chronic pain disorder characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, and tender points. Injections may help reduce pain and muscle tension associated with trigger points.
Trigger points in the neck, shoulders, and upper back can contribute to tension headaches. Injections can provide relief by targeting these trigger points and relaxing the associated muscles.
TMJ disorder can cause jaw pain, facial pain, and difficulty with jaw movement. Trigger point injections may be used to relieve muscle tension and reduce pain associated with TMJ.
Trigger points in the muscles of the lower back, such as the erector spinae muscles or the gluteal muscles, can contribute to chronic low back pain. Injections can help relax these muscles and alleviate pain.
Trigger points in the neck muscles, such as the trapezius or sternocleidomastoid muscles, can cause neck pain and stiffness. Trigger point injections can provide relief by targeting these specific trigger points.
Muscular injuries, such as strains or overuse injuries, can benefit from trigger point injections to help relax the affected muscles, reduce pain, and promote healing.
