Trigger Point Injections
Trigger point injections are a medical procedure used to treat painful knots of muscle, known as trigger points, which form when muscles fail to relax. These tight areas can cause discomfort and pain, often radiating to other parts of the body. Trigger point injections deliver medication directly into the trigger point to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and allow the muscle to relax. At Revere Health, we offer trigger point injections as part of our comprehensive pain management services.
How Trigger Point Injections Work
During the procedure, a small needle is inserted into the trigger point, and a local anesthetic or corticosteroid is injected to relieve pain and reduce inflammation. In some cases, a saline solution is used. The injection can relax the muscle, allowing for improved mobility and reduced discomfort.
