Trigger point injection is a procedure used to treat painful areas of muscle that contain trigger points, or knots of muscle that form when muscles do not relax. 1-2 muscles are typically treated in one session. The procedure involves injecting medications into these points to alleviate pain.

An injection into a tendon or ligament involves placing medication directly into these areas to help reduce inflammation and pain. It's often used for conditions like arthritis or tendonitis. The procedure is quick and usually involves a local anesthetic.

Trigger point injection therapy involves injecting medication into specific areas of your muscles, known as trigger points. These are areas that produce pain and discomfort. If you have three or more muscles affected, each will be treated individually.

This is a routine check-up for patients who have previously seen the doctor. During this 10-19 minute visit, the doctor will review your health status, discuss any concerns, and manage ongoing treatments or medications. It's a chance to ensure your health is on track.
