Trigger Point Injections (TPI) in Phoenix
Trigger Point Injections use a combination of saline and lidocaine to break up painful muscle knots, or “trigger points,” helping patients at In Touch Wellness Center regain mobility and relieve stubborn muscle pain quickly.
Request an AppointmentWhat Are Trigger Points?
Trigger points are tight bands of muscle that can cause localized pain or refer pain to other areas of the body. They’re a common source of chronic neck and back pain, and can be stubborn to resolve through stretching or massage alone.
How TPI Works
During a trigger point injection, a small amount of saline and lidocaine is injected directly into the affected muscle, helping to release tension, reduce inflammation, and interrupt the pain cycle. Many patients feel improved range of motion almost immediately following treatment.
When TPI Is Recommended
TPI is often recommended for patients with chronic muscle knots that haven’t responded to stretching or chiropractic adjustments alone, and it’s frequently used as part of a broader plan addressing joint pain or restricted mobility.
