At New Solutions Physical Medicine we have found that Trigger Point Injections are one of the most effective treatments for myofascial pain syndrome. By injecting a local anesthetic into trigger points, we are able to quickly relieve muscle tension and pain.
Trigger point injections work by interrupting the flow of electrical impulses between the muscles and the brain. When this happens, the muscle relaxes, and the pain disappears. The injections can be done with a needle or with a special pen-like device that delivers the medication through a small, thin tube.
Trigger point injections are usually given in three to five sessions, spaced one to two weeks apart. Each session lasts about 15 minutes, and most people report significant pain relief after just one or two treatments.
Combining trigger point therapy with chiropractic care from Arizona Lifestyle Chiropractic offers a holistic approach to pain management, addressing both muscle tension and underlying joint issues for enhanced pain relief and improved functionality.
