Trigger Point Injections
Relieve stubborn muscle pain—targeted relief to help you feel at ease again.

What is Trigger Point Injections?
Trigger Point Injections is a simple in-office procedure that can help soothe muscle pain that occurs when a muscle cannot relax, using a small amount of anesthetic and steroid injected into the muscle to help alleviate the pain you might be feeling.
Who is a candidate?
Trigger point injections might be right for you if your muscle pain has not improved with treatments such as medications and physical therapy. A trigger point injection can help soothe muscle pain in your arms, legs, lower back and neck. It can also help treat fibromyalgia, tension headaches and myofascial pain.
