Immediate; mild soreness at injection sites for 24 to 48 hours
Trigger points are tight knots within muscle fibers that cause localized pain and often refer pain to distant areas. Trigger point injections deliver a small amount of anesthetic or anti-inflammatory medication directly into these knots, releasing the muscle tension and breaking the pain cycle. This is particularly effective for myofascial pain syndrome and tension-related conditions.
