At Preferred Regen, we offer Trigger Point Injections (TPI) to provide targeted pain relief and improve your musculoskeletal health. TPI provides targeted relief for pain within the musculoskeletal system, focusing on tender knots in muscle tissue known as trigger points. These sensitive areas can form due to acute trauma or repetitive microtraumas and may cause pain that radiates beyond the muscle itself.
What Are Trigger Point Injections?
Trigger Point Injections (TPI) involve the precise administration of a local anesthetic, sometimes combined with a steroid, directly into the trigger point. This treatment is designed to relax the muscle, improve blood flow, and disrupt the cycle of pain, providing effective relief from conditions like myofascial pain syndrome—a common and painful muscle disorder.
How Does the Procedure Work?
Our treatment involves an ultrasound-guided injection into the affected muscle area, such as the lower back, neck, or shoulders. The frequency of injections is customized to your individual needs, with the option to receive treatments up to twice a week, depending on your pain level.
Benefits of Trigger Point Injections
Effective Pain Relief:
TPI’s target specific muscle areas, offering significant relief from pain and tightness.
Improved Functionality:
Helps to enhance range of motion and overall muscle functionality, particularly in areas like the neck, shoulders, arms, legs, and lower back.
Safe and Long-Lasting:
Most patients experience immediate pain relief, with effects lasting up to a month. For ongoing relief, reoccurring injections may be necessary, especially when avoiding the use of steroids to reduce the risk of tissue damage.
Who Can Benefit?
TPI’s are ideal for individuals suffering from myofascial pain syndrome or those with tight, stiff, or painful muscles. This treatment is especially beneficial for patients seeking targeted pain relief to improve their overall quality of life and mobility.
