Am I a Good Candidate for Trigger Point Injections?

Most candidates for trigger point injections have attempted physical therapy and/or medications but have not found relief. However, for chronic trigger points, trigger point injections are an effective treatment. Not all trigger points require injection.

How Do Trigger Point Injections Work?

During a trigger point injection, a provider uses a small needle to insert a local anesthetic or steroid into the patient’s trigger point. This procedure, which does not require x-ray or ultrasound guidance, takes 10-15 minutes and is performed in the office. While each patient varies, trigger point injections can provide pain relief for weeks to months.
