Trigger Point Injections

Trigger Points are hyperirritable spots in tight bands of muscles that may feel like a “knot” that is often associated with soreness and tenderness. Trigger points are the main components of muscle spasms so they can often irritate nerves around them causing pain that is felt in another part of the body, limited range of motion, and weakness, which can affect your daily activities.

During a Trigger Point Injection, a local anesthetic or an all-natural solution known as Sarapin is placed in these affected muscles to target and numb these spots. Further stimulation with precise Ultrasound Guidance serves to deactivate the trigger points and relax the muscle. Some benefits of Trigger Point Injections include High Success Rate, Non-Surgical, In-Office same-day procedure, and Long Lasting relief.

When your pain is no longer temporary and before you consider Surgery or Pain Killers come to Wesley Chapel Spine and Sports Medicine where our expert board-certified physicians may recommend Trigger Point Injections as part of a Comprehensive Rehabilitation Program.

Trigger Point Injections

Trigger points develop when muscles become tight and tense, often due to overuse, stress, or injury, and can cause sharp, localized pain that radiates to other parts of the body. This treatment is commonly used for myofascial pain syndrome, tension headaches, and neck and back pain linked to muscle tightness.

Trigger point injections are also used for conditions like TMJ disorder and carpal tunnel syndrome. Because the medication is delivered directly to the source rather than affecting the whole body, patients often experience fewer side effects than with oral medications.

The injections are not a permanent cure — trigger points can return if contributing factors like poor posture or stress aren’t addressed — so they’re often combined with physical therapy, chiropractic care, or lifestyle changes for lasting results.
