What Are Trigger Point Injections?

Trigger point injections are one type of pain management injection. Trigger point injections are used to treat many different pain-related conditions. Some of these include:

  • Fibromyalgia
  • Muscle spasms
  • Tension headaches
  • Tinnitus
  • Reduced mobility
  • Myofascial pain syndrome (chronic muscle pain)

The list above represents just a small portion of the many conditions that can be treated with trigger point injections. As the name implies, trigger point injections target the "trigger points" within the muscles. These trigger points are the "knots" within the muscles that tense up and cause pain. When a knot occurs, it can actually damage the nerves and lead to pain in other parts of the body.

Trigger point injections address pain through the use of medication. Because they feature no incisions or surgery, trigger point injections are considered a less-invasive pain treatment.

How Do Trigger point Injections Work?

Trigger point injections can be utilized on any muscle group in the body. Some of the most commonly areas treated with trigger point injections include the:

  • Lower back
  • Arm
  • Legs
  • Head
  • Neck
  • Shoulders

A single trigger point injection takes just moments to administer. The actual contents of the injection will vary depending on the issue being treated and the individual needs of the patient. The most common types of trigger point injections utilize either steroidal medication to bring down inflammation  or muscle relaxers to stop spasms. Most TPIs are combined with a mild pain medication, as well.

When utilized correctly, trigger point injections may lead to:

  • Reduced pain
  • Increased mobility
  • Less frequent muscle spasms

Trigger point injections are often used as one part of a larger pain management treatment plan. To increase their effectiveness, TPIs may be used in conjunction with physical therapy, oral medication, massage and many other pain management methods. The only way to determine what pain management methods are right for your needs is to meet with a medical professional.
