Trigger Point Injections Overview
Trigger point injections (TPIs) are a type of medical treatment used to alleviate pain and muscle spasms. A trigger point is a tight area within a muscle that can cause pain in other parts of the body when pressed. TPIs involves injecting a small anesthetic medication and sometimes a corticosteroid into the trigger point to relax the muscle and reduce pain.
The procedure is usually performed by a doctor or other healthcare provider and is performed in a medical office or clinic. The skin over the injection site is numbed with a local anesthetic, and a thin needle is inserted into the trigger point. The anesthetic medication is then injected into the muscle.
TPIs often treat muscle pain, spasms, headaches, and fibromyalgia. They may also be used to treat other conditions that cause muscle pain, such as tension headaches, myofascial pain syndrome, and back pain.
TPIs are generally safe, with a low risk of complications. However, as with any medical procedure, there are potential risks, including infection, bleeding, and nerve damage. Your doctor will discuss the potential risks and benefits of TPIs with you and help you decide if they are the right treatment option for you.
