Trigger Point Injection at BestU Health Boutique
Trigger point injection (TPI) is a medical procedure used to treat painful muscle knots or trigger points. Trigger points are tight bands of muscle fibers that can cause localized pain, stiffness, and referred pain to other areas of the body. TPI involves the injection of a local anesthetic, such as lidocaine or prolocaine, directly into the trigger point to alleviate pain and promote muscle relaxation.
The Benefits of TPI
TPI can be beneficial for various conditions associated with trigger points, including myofascial pain syndrome, tension headaches, fibromyalgia, and muscle spasms. It is often used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan that may include physical therapy, stretching exercises, and lifestyle modifications.
