What are Trigger Point Injections in Scottsdale?

Trigger point injections in Scottsdale target tight, painful muscle spots known as trigger points. These areas can cause pain and stiffness, making movement difficult. Our pain management doctors use a small needle to inject medicine, such as numbing medicine or a steroid, directly into the muscle knot. This helps the muscle relax and relieves the pain.

How Trigger Point Injections Help Patients

Trigger point injections in Scottsdale relax tight muscle knots and stop pain signals. The injection contains a local anesthetic to numb the area and sometimes a small amount of steroid to reduce inflammation. Here’s how the procedure works:

The doctor cleans the skin over the muscle knot.
A small needle is carefully inserted into the tight muscle spot.
Using gentle pressure, the pain management doctor injects the medicine into the trigger point.
The medicine helps numb the area, reduce inflammation, and loosen the muscle.
After the injection, doctors may gently massage the area to help spread the medicine.

The entire process is quick and usually only causes mild discomfort. Many patients feel relief shortly after the injection, but some notice improvement over the next few days. These injections can also be combined with physical therapy and other treatments to help you heal faster.
