What is a Trigger Point?
A trigger point is a specific area within a muscle that has become tight and inflamed, causing pain and much discomfort. These points often manifest as tender "knots" or tight bands that can be felt when touched. In a holistic medical practice, trigger point injections are provided to alleviate the pain associated with these sensitive areas, promote healing, and restore the body's natural motion & function.
Causes of Trigger Points
Muscle Overuse
Prolonged or repetitive muscle activity can lead to the formation of trigger points.
Poor Posture
Maintaining improper posture for extended periods can strain muscles and create trigger points.
Stress and Tension
Emotional stress often leads to muscle tension, which can result in the development of trigger points.
Muscle spasms
Combining chiropractic care with other holistic therapies, such as trigger point therapy and physical therapy, can promote faster healing and more effective recovery.
Prevention of Future Injuries
Chiropractic care focuses on maintaining optimal spinal alignment and joint health, which can help to prevent future injuries and keep you feeling your best.

How Do Trigger Point Therapy & Injections Work?
Trigger point treatment is used to help relieve pain caused by tight knots in your muscles, called trigger points.

During a typical treatment, our medical provider injects a very small medicinal to the area. This local anesthetic works by numbing the area, providing immediate pain relief, while it also helps to reduce inflammation and promote healing over time
By handling both pain and the inflammation, trigger point injections help the tight muscles relax and reduce your discomfort. It’s important to follow a treatment regimen including specific stretching, posture and prescribed motion after the injection, as this can help prevent trigger points from coming back in the future.
