Get Targeted Relief for Muscle Pain with Trigger Point Injections

Do you ever find yourself pulling at your neck muscles? A Trigger Point is a tight knot or band of fibrous muscle that forms when the muscle fails to relax properly, often due to stress, overuse, injury, or poor posture. These knots can cause localized pain or refer discomfort to other areas of the body, leading to muscle stiffness and tension headaches. Trigger points are commonly found in the neck, shoulders, back, and other muscle groups, and they can worsen over time if left untreated.

Trigger Point Injections (TPI) use a local anesthetic and a special technique to break through target inflamed areas, helping to ease pain and relax back muscles.
