TRIGGER POINT INJECTION TREATMENT (TPI)

Trigger Point Injections (TPI) are a treatment option for people with chronic pain. A TPI involves a doctor injecting a numbing agent and sometimes a steroid into areas near or around the trigger point. The goal of a TPI is to decrease pain and improve function.

A common procedure utilized by pain and rehab doctors to treat spasm, tensions around muscle groups that contain trigger point.  Common areas for injections are neck, back, shoulder and legs.  Most common injections are corticosteriod and local anesthetics.  Most common conditions treated are Fibromyalgia, chronic pain, tension headaches, muscle spasms.

RELIEF FROM CHRONIC PAIN

Trigger Point Injections can help to provide relief from chronic pain that may be felt in different parts of the body.  Trigger point injections offer relief from chronic pain by injecting a solution into the affected muscle tissue. This solution helps to dissolve the knots or trigger points that are causing pain. The injections are often combined with other treatments, such as massage or stretching, to help reduce pain and improve function.

IMPROVED RANGE OF MOTION

The injections can help to improve range of motion and flexibility, which can be especially helpful for those who are struggling with mobility issues. Trigger Point Injections help with improved range of motion by helping to reduce muscle knots, or trigger points. Trigger points can cause pain and restricted range of motion. Injections of a numbing agent and corticosteroid into the trigger point can help to reduce inflammation and pain, which in turn helps to improve range of motion.

QUICKER HEALING TIME

By targeting the trigger points, the injections can help to speed up the healing process and reduce the amount of time that is needed for recovery. Trigger Point Injections are a form of treatment that can help to speed up the healing process. By targeting specific trigger points in the muscle, the injections can help to reduce inflammation and pain. This can help to improve mobility and function, and allow for a quicker return to daily activities.

INCREASED FUNCTIONALITY

With the help of Trigger Point Injections, many people find that they are able to resume their regular activities more quickly and without as much pain or discomfort. Trigger Point Injections are offered to help with increased functionality by targeting specific muscles or muscle groups that are causing pain and dysfunction. The injections help to decrease muscle tension and spasms, which can help to improve function and reduce pain.
