Trigger Point Injections

At Landerma Medi Spa At Landerma MediSpa, in Glendale, AZ, we offer effective trigger point injections to help you regain comfort and mobility. Trigger point injections are a non-invasive treatment used to alleviate muscle pain and tension.

Soothe Muscle Tension with Trigger Point Injections

Trigger point injections are a highly effective and specialized treatment designed to target and relieve muscle knots, also known as "trigger points," which are often the source of persistent pain and discomfort. These muscle knots can cause significant pain, stiffness, and a reduced range of motion, affecting daily activities. The injection works by delivering a local anesthetic or anti-inflammatory medication directly into the affected muscle area, targeting the specific trigger points.

This helps to relax the muscle fibers, alleviate pain, reduce inflammation, and restore normal muscle function. Many patients experience immediate relief, making it an ideal treatment for those suffering from chronic pain, muscle spasms, or tension. Trigger point injections are commonly used to treat conditions such as fibromyalgia, tension headaches, neck and back pain, and other musculoskeletal disorders, providing patients with long-lasting relief and improved quality of life.

Benefits of Trigger Point Injections

Immediate Pain Relief

Trigger point injections provide fast, targeted relief by directly addressing the source of muscle pain, helping to alleviate discomfort quickly and offering long-lasting results for many patients.

Improved Mobility

By relaxing tight muscles, trigger point injections enhance flexibility and range of motion, allowing patients to move more freely and return to their normal activities with less pain or restriction.

Reduced Muscle Spasms

These injections effectively calm muscle spasms by targeting the affected area, reducing muscle tension and preventing further discomfort, helping to restore normal muscle function and prevent recurring issues.

Understanding Trigger Point Injections Process

Trigger point injection therapy begins with a consultation to assess the areas of discomfort and identify muscle knots. After a thorough evaluation, the provider will clean the injection site and apply a local anesthetic to minimize any discomfort during the procedure.

A fine needle is then inserted into the trigger point, delivering a combination of a numbing agent and anti-inflammatory medication. The procedure is quick, typically taking only 15-30 minutes, and most patients can return to their daily activities immediately. While some mild soreness may occur post-treatment, the injections are highly effective in relieving pain and restoring muscle function.

Trigger Point Injections Aftercare and Results

After receiving trigger point injections, patients should avoid strenuous activities for at least 24 hours. It’s also advised to gently stretch the treated muscles to enhance flexibility and avoid stiffness.

Some mild bruising or soreness at the injection site is normal but typically resolves within a few days. Full benefits of the treatment can take a few days to manifest, but many patients report significant pain relief and increased mobility within a week.

Repeat injections may be recommended based on the severity of the muscle issue. Long-term results are often achieved when combined with physical therapy, stretching, and a healthy lifestyle.
