What is trigger point injection?
Trigger point injection is administered to soothe muscle pain and functional bottlenecks associated with trigger points. It alleviates muscle spasm, tightness and pain and allows stiff muscles to relax and decompress.
What is used in trigger point injections?
Trigger point injections use a variety of medications to relieve muscle pain depending on intensity of pain, symptoms and the best possible response to treatment.
• Numbing medication, such as lidocaine or other local anesthetics
• A mix of numbing medication and steroid
• Corticosteroids, normal saline
• Botox injections
• A dry needling without any medication may also be done
How do trigger point injections provide relief?
A muscle with trigger points becomes rigid and does not relax as in normal conditions it is expected to do. This makes movements very painful. When the trigger point is compressed with touch or any motion, it emits pain sensation. Trigger point injections with numbing medications make the pain spot dormant and subdues pain sensation. When mixed with corticosteroids, the medication not only soothes the affected muscles, but also treats spasm and inflamed tissues. Botox injections paralyze the muscle to ensure that it does not feel the pinch when moved.
For best results, exercises focused on muscle strengthening and flexibility should be sued with these injections.
When can I expect pain relief?
Pain relief is immediate. But patients should wait for 2/3 days before the final result.
How long the impact lasts? How many trigger point injections do I need?
The benefits of trigger point injections last between a few days and months depending on patient condition and medication injected. Many patients receive a certain number of injections with a gap of one or two weeks. The gap increases and frequency gradually decreases with time.
