Trigger Point Pain
HOW IT WORKS
Our board-certified providers will begin by identifying your specific trigger points with a thorough exam and palpation of the affected muscles. Once located, a small needle is inserted directly into the trigger point, delivering the medication precisely to the affected area. This relaxes muscle fibers and reduces inflammation and pain, improving mobility and function.
Trigger point injections can provide quick pain relief, with many people experiencing it immediately after treatment. Plus, results can last for three to six months! Even better? Treating facial muscles for migraine or headache also has the added bonus of smoothing wrinkles!
