Pain management often involves the use of
medications, injections, and other therapies, and
Trigger point injection (TPI) is one of them.
This is mainly used for treating painful muscle
areas that trigger the pain. In some patients,
knots can be felt underneath the skin. These
trigger points can trouble and irritate the
muscles and nerves around, which is why such kind
of pain is also known as referred pain. The
treatment process is fairly simple.

The pain management doctor will insert a small
needle in the concerned knot or trigger point.
The injection may contain saline or any of
anesthetic medicine, which will work on the point
and make it inactive. In some cases, a
corticosteroid can be used for the treatment, as
well.

The TPI procedure is completed at the physicians
clinic under the expertise of the practicing
doctor. Doctors may suggest using such injections
for a brief period for sustained respite from
unexpected pain. In extreme cases, some patients
may need such injections in different trigger
points of the body at the same time.
For the uninitiated, TPI is mostly used in arms,
lower back and legs. It is used for treated
headaches, as well, especially if induced by
tension. If you are looking for trigger point
