How Trigger Point Injections Work

Trigger Point Injections (TPI) treat myofascial pain by injecting a mix of local anesthetic and corticosteroid into muscle knots (trigger points). The anesthetic (lidocaine) quickly relieves nerve irritation, while the corticosteroid reduces inflammation.

Can Trigger Point Injections Help with Migraines?

Trigger Point Injections (TPI) ease migraines by desensitizing muscle fibers in the head and neck. TPIs target specific muscle trigger points known to trigger headaches and migraines. For chronic migraines, we also offer Botox for migraines.

Trigger Point Treatment for Chronic Pain

Trigger Point Treatment for chronic pain combines medications, trigger point injections, and physical therapy. It’s customized based on pain severity and causes.

Treatments include:

  • Diagnosis: Dr. D’Alessio locates tense areas and trigger points with finger pressure.
  • Medications: Pain relievers, antidepressants, and sedatives may be prescribed.
  • Trigger Point Injections: Injections with local anesthetics like lidocaine reduce pain and inflammation.
  • Physical Therapy: Essential exercises and stretches maximize injection benefits.
  • At-home treatments: Ice reduces inflammation, trigger point massage, and heat for muscle relaxation.

Medications used for trigger point injections (TPI)

  • Local anesthetics like lidocaine or bupivacaine numb the injection area.
  • Corticosteroids, often mixed with anesthetics, reduce inflammation.

The type of medication used in TPI will depend on the severity and underlying cause of the pain.

Our Step-by-Step Trigger Point Injection Procedure

When you come to Montville MedSpa & Pain Center for trigger point injections, you can expect a smooth, effective process:

1. Initial Consultation – We’ll discuss your health history and specific areas of pain to determine if trigger point injections are right for you.

2. Examination – Our medical provider will examine you to identify the precise trigger points causing discomfort. We may mark these areas on the skin.

3. Trigger Point Injection – We cleanse the skin over the marked trigger points. Then, our provider uses a thin needle to inject a local anesthetic and potentially a steroid directly into the trigger points.

4. Relief – The anesthetic provides immediate numbness to the area, giving temporary but substantial pain relief. The steroid helps reduce inflammation.

We strive to make trigger point injections as quick and comfortable as possible. Let our experienced team identify and treat your muscle trigger points to help you find relief!

How Long Do Trigger Point Injections Last?

Pain relief from Trigger Point Injections (TPI) typically lasts around 30 days, but this varies based on injury severity. If pain persists, consult your healthcare provider for additional TPIs or alternative treatments.
