How Does a Trigger Point Injection Work?

A trigger point injection is often recommended when a patient has myofascial pain that affects the neck, shoulders, arms, legs, or lower back. Specifically, it is used to target a trigger point or knot in the muscles that feel irritated or painful when touched or while moving. Oftentimes, knots form due to an acute traumatic injury or repeated trauma, like overworking the muscle.

A trigger point injection can use a local anesthetic with corticosteroid, botulinum toxin, or another form of anesthetic. Some trigger point injections can be completed using just the needle and no anesthetic at all. It is used to target the fascia or connective tissue around the muscle and alleviate the knot that has formed there.

Trigger point injections can be used in various body parts, such as:

• Head & Jaw
• Neck
• Hip & Leg
• Upper & lower back
• Shoulder
