What are Trigger Point injections?

For persistent or chronic muscle pain, trigger point injections are used to soothe and release pain in targeted areas of muscle known as trigger points. These trigger points are very sensitive bundles of fibers in tight bands of muscle. The injections administer the medication directly into the trigger points.

How do Trigger Point Injections work?

Either sitting or lying down for the procedure, our provider at Array Medical Center Surprise will press on the strained muscle to locate the area where the pain is located. Then, a small needle will be inserted into the site and inject a mixture of anesthetic and natural anti-inflammatory.

Depending on the condition, a trigger point injection can take as little as a few minutes, and often leaves an immediate relief of pain.
