Trigger Point Injections

• Procedure used to treat painful areas of muscle that
  contain trigger points, or knots of muscle that form
  when muscles do not relax.
• Trigger points may irritate the nerves around them and
  cause referred pain, or pain that is felt in another
  part of the body.
• In this procedure, a health care professional inserts
  a small needle into the patient's trigger point.
• With the injection, the trigger point is made inactive
  and the pain is alleviated.
• Treatment for many muscle groups, especially those
  in the arms, legs, lower back, and neck.
• TPI can be used to treat fibromyalgia and tension
  headaches
• The technique is also used to alleviate Myofascial
  Pain Syndrome
