How Does Trigger Point Injections Work?

Trigger point injections, also known as myofascial trigger point injections or “dry-needling”, are a form of injection therapy that targets and treats problematic areas in the skeletal muscle, or the muscle belly.

During the procedure, targeted “trigger points”, or knots of areas of muscle tightness and spasms, are injected with a liquid solution that often contains a numbing or anesthetic agent. This solution works to break up the knots or tension within the muscle.

What Are The Benefits of Trigger Point Injections?

There are many benefits to using trigger point injections to treat muscle pain. These include quick and effective pain relief, improved range of motion, increased muscle relaxation, and improved circulation.

Another benefit to using trigger point injections is that they can be used as part of an overall treatment plan, helping to enhance other treatments such as physical therapy.
