Treating Muscle Injuries Using Trigger Point Injection Therapy
Muscle pain can be relieved by locating and treating trigger points, which are sensitive areas or small knots that form in the myofascial tissue. Myofascial tissue is what covers your muscle and when a trigger point develops, it can cause a great deal of pain.
The most effective method for treating trigger points is trigger point injection. In fact, you will feel immediate relief upon receiving your first injection. Core Medical Center providers strategically select injection targets that are specific to your area of injury and then release the tension. This will allow the muscle tissue to relax, and then the area will gradually loosen and strengthen. As a result, you will feel less discomfort and have an increased range of motion.
Trigger Point Injections Provide Immediate Pain Relief
Receiving trigger point injections is a safer alternative to taking prescribed oral medication. Muscle relaxers are often prescribed, but this solution is temporary and does not resolve the issue. Opiates only numb us to the pain and they have disastrous consequences when used habitually which can lead to more issues including addiction or possible further injury. We look beyond the symptoms to get to the core of your injury so we can permanently relieve your pain.
