What Is Trigger Point Injections Therapy?
-
Trigger point injections are a minimally invasive technique where a fine needle delivers a local anaesthetic (sometimes with a corticosteroid) directly into a specific muscle “knot” (the trigger point).
- These knots – small, tight bands often found in the shoulders, neck, back, and hips – are common sources of pain that can refer discomfort throughout the body.
- Common contributors to these trigger points include:
- Physical trauma or repetitive injury
- Poor posture (including desk work)
- Chronic tension conditions (fibromyalgia, myofascial pain syndrome)
- Stress and long-term overuse
- When ignored, trigger points can perpetuate muscle tightness, referred pain, headaches, and even reduced joint function.
-
The injection therapy works to:
- Interrupt pain cycles at their source
- Reduce local inflammation and swelling
- Encourage natural muscle relaxation
- Restore flexibility and support better movement patterns
