Service Description
During the trigger point injection procedure, you can expect the following:
​
-
Identification of Trigger Points: Our healthcare provider will locate the specific trigger points in your muscles by conducting a physical examination and discussing your symptoms and medical history.
-
Preparation: Before the injection, the skin around the trigger point will be cleaned and sterilized to reduce the risk of infection.
-
Injection: A small needle will be inserted directly into the trigger point. The injection may contain a local anesthetic, such as lidocaine, and/or a corticosteroid to reduce inflammation and provide pain relief.
-
Targeted Treatment: The injection aims to release the tension in the trigger point, allowing the muscle to relax and relieving pain and discomfort.
-
Multiple Injections: If you have multiple trigger points, our healthcare provider may administer injections in various areas during the same session.
-
Post-Injection Care: You will be given instructions on how to care for the injection site and manage any potential side effects. It's common to experience temporary soreness at the injection site.
-
Follow-Up: Depending on your response to the treatment, our healthcare team may recommend additional sessions or alternative therapies to further address your pain and improve your overall well-being.
