Trigger point injections

Trigger point injections are a medical treatment used to relieve muscle pain caused by tight, tender areas called trigger points. A healthcare provider injects medication, often local anesthetic or corticosteroids, directly into these tight spots to relax the muscle and reduce discomfort. This procedure can help improve mobility and decrease pain, especially when other treatments haven't been effective. It is usually performed quickly, with minimal discomfort, and can provide relief for conditions like muscle knots, myofascial pain syndrome, or sports injuries.
