Trigger point injections
TPI are used to treat painful and tender areas of muscle. They are intramuscular and subcutaneous injections often performed to decrease pain swelling and inflammation. The procedure consists of a medication injected into the skin and muscle. A small needle is inserted into the trigger point. A local anesthetic (lidocaine, procaine, bupivacaine) along with an anti-inflammatory (Kenolog) is injected into the muscle. This procedure can activate the trigger point to alleviate pain. This is a quick, precise 2 minute in-office procedure that provides immediate relief to improve the patient’s range of motion.
