Trigger point injection can help soothe chronic pain in muscles caused by trigger points and other musculoskeletal system issues. It is a simple outpatient procedure that takes 10-15 minutes. 

Trigger points are basically the painful knots in your muscle that can be felt when you rub your skin. These are formed when your muscles do not relax. Such pain hampers daily functioning and affects the quality of life. 

Depending on the kind and severity of muscle pain, you will have several trigger point injections scheduled over many weeks. That said, Trigger Point Injection can help treat pain in arms, legs, lower back, and neck. It is often prescribed if traditional pain therapies or medications fail to alleviate your pain. These injections are effective in the treatment of myofascial pain, fibromyalgia, migraines and headaches.
