Trigger Point Injections

Trigger points, more commonly known as muscle knots, are areas of localized tension or tightness within a muscle. These areas can cause pain that travels to surrounding areas of the body and can be felt as bands of thickened muscle tissue or nodules. Trigger point injections are an in-office procedure traditionally performed using a local anesthetic and fine needle movements to release these nodules within a muscle. The procedure is safe and generally well tolerated by patients. The most common side-effect is mild discomfort at the injection site. The procedure takes a few minutes to complete and patients can return to work or other activities that day.
