Trigger Point Injections

Trigger Point Injections

Those sore knots or tender places that hurt when touched or rubbed are trigger points. They come from trauma to the muscle fibers, which react by forming a taut band.

These points of bands of muscle, or palpable nodules in the skeletal muscle, radiate unexplained pain. Pressing on a trigger point may elicit local tenderness, referred pain, or a twitch response.

Trigger point injections are a minimally invasive treatment that can relax the area and provide relief where other methods fail.
