Trigger Point Injections: What You Need To Know

Dr. Alex Nowlin of Mt. Baker Pain Clinic explains what Trigger point injections are, when he uses them, and if/how long pain relief can be expected to last.
Trigger point injections can help soothe muscle pain, especially in your arms, legs, lower back and neck. It also can be used to treat fibromyalgia, tension headaches and myofascial pain.
Trigger points are painful “knots” in your muscles. They form when a muscle can’t relax. Sometimes you can feel these knots when you rub your muscles. Injecting small amounts of anesthetic and steroid into the trigger point can help alleviate the pain.
