What Are Trigger Point Injections?
Chronic muscle pain can make even simple movements feel difficult. Pain management specialist Dr. Daljit Buttar at Aspire Spine & Headache Pain Center offers trigger point injections for painful muscle knots that form when muscles tighten and do not relax. These knots, known as trigger points, can cause discomfort and limit movement. Trigger points often develop in the neck, shoulders, back, and other muscles under repeated stress. Common trigger point injection sites include areas affected by chronic pain conditions, like myofascial pain syndrome and tension headaches. Our staff can help target your trigger points. For targeted relief, schedule a consultation at our Raleigh or Charlotte, NC practice to see how this treatment can work for you.
How Do Trigger Point Injections Work?
The trigger point injection procedure involves inserting a thin needle into the tight muscle to release tension. The medication may include a local anesthetic, saline, or a corticosteroid to relax the muscle and reduce inflammation and pain. Most sessions take only a few minutes. Some people feel relief right away while others notice improvement over a few days. The effects of trigger point injections can last for several weeks, but results vary. Additional treatments may help maintain relief over time.
