Trigger Point Injections for Tight Muscles
Neck pain, back pain, and shoulder pain can all be caused by tight muscles. Inflammation can cause pain, stiffness, and loss of range of motion. At Cy-Fair HealthCare Associates, our chiropractors offer trigger point injections in Houston, TX, for myofascial pain in the neck, shoulders, and back. Read on to learn more about trigger point therapy and how it eases pain and stiffness in tight muscles.
What Are Trigger Point Injections?
Trigger point injections are a minimally invasive pain management therapy that addresses myofascial pain in the neck, shoulders, arms, legs, and back. Trigger points are knots in your muscles that are sensitive to touch and pressure, and that can cause muscle stiffness, loss of range of motion, and pain. They are often caused by trauma or repetitive stress on the muscles. Our chiropractor will inject a local anesthetic directly into one or more trigger points. The anesthetic mixture may also contain saline or corticosteroids.
What Conditions Are Treated With Trigger Point Therapy?
Our team may recommend trigger point therapy if you have chronic or acute pain, or if you have tried other treatment methods without success. We may suggest combining multiple chiropractic therapies, including trigger point therapy, to get the best chance of a successful outcome. We can use trigger point therapy to treat:
When Should You Consider Trigger Point Injections?
You should consider trigger point injections if you have pain that doesn’t improve with rest, relaxation, or other therapies. We offer drug-free pain management, so trigger point injections can offer back, neck, and shoulder pain relief without risk of dependency, complications, or side effects. We’ll complete a full physical exam and may recommend diagnostic imaging tests to determine the underlying cause of your pain. If your back, shoulder, or neck pain is due to muscle strain, spinal conditions, structural issues, or a pinched nerve, we will recommend another treatment method.
