What are Trigger Point Injections?
Trigger point injections are a targeted treatment designed to relieve chronic muscle pain caused by tight, contracted areas known as trigger points. These sensitive spots can cause pain in the neck, shoulders, back, or other areas and may also contribute to myofascial pain, stiffness, or numbness. The procedure involves inserting a small needle into the affected muscle to deliver a local anesthetic that relaxes the fibers, reduces inflammation, and promotes natural healing.
Our medical team performs each procedure with precision, aiming to address the root cause of discomfort and improve mobility. This treatment can be used on its own or alongside physical therapy, chiropractic care, and other treatments to enhance recovery, reduce pain, and support lasting relief with minimal side effects.
Don’t let muscle tension limit your quality of life—schedule your appointment today to learn if trigger point injections are right for you.
Conditions Trigger Point Injections Can Help Treat
Trigger point injections are designed to address muscle pain and tension that can develop from a variety of situations. By targeting specific points of tightness, this therapy can help reduce discomfort, improve mobility, and support healing—especially when muscle dysfunction is contributing to your symptoms.
Localized Muscle Knots
Tight, tender spots in the muscle can limit your range of motion and cause pain that radiates to nearby areas. Injections help relax these fibers and restore normal movement.
Chronic Muscle Pain
Long-term tension or spasms can make daily activities difficult. Trigger point therapy can reduce pain, ease stiffness, and improve overall function.
Overuse or Sports Injuries
Repetitive motions and strain from physical activity often create trigger points that slow recovery. Treating these areas can help you return to your normal activities more comfortably.
Tension-Related Headaches
Muscle knots in the neck, shoulders, or jaw can contribute to headaches. Injections help release this tension and reduce the frequency of flare-ups.
Postural Strain
Poor posture or prolonged sitting can lead to muscle tightness and pain. Targeted injections relieve tension and support better alignment.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a trigger point injection do?
A trigger point injection delivers a small amount of local anesthetic directly into a tight, sensitive area of muscle. This helps the fibers relax, improves blood flow, and reduces inflammation—allowing the tissue to heal more effectively. It’s often used to relieve symptoms such as neck pain, tension headaches, or muscle tenderness that haven’t responded to stretching, massage, or other treatments.
How long do trigger point injections usually last?
Relief varies depending on your condition, activity level, and how your body responds to the treatment. Many patients experience improved mobility and reduced pain for several weeks, especially when injections are combined with physical therapy, chiropractic care, or other supportive treatments. If needed, additional sessions can be scheduled to maintain results.
What are the potential side effects of trigger point injections?
Most patients tolerate the procedure well. Mild discomfort or temporary soreness at the injection site is common and typically resolves quickly. Serious side effects are rare. Before starting treatment, our medical team will review your health history to ensure this approach is safe for you.
Are trigger point injections covered by insurance?
Coverage can vary depending on your insurance provider and plan. In many cases, these injections are covered when other treatments—such as rest, medication, or manual therapy—haven’t provided enough relief. Our team can help you explore your benefits and discuss your options.
