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

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.

FAQs About Trigger Point

  • WHAT IS CHIROPRACTIC CARE?​

    Chiropractic care is a natural, hands-on therapy technique that uses gentle and precise spinal adjustments to correct misalignments and alleviate spinal nerve stress.


    “The essential services provided by chiropractors represent a primary approach for the prevention, diagnosis and conservative management of back pain and spinal disorders that can often enable patients to reduce or avoid the need for riskier treatments, such as prescription opioid pain medications and surgery,” according to the American Chiropractic Association.

  • WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF CHIROPRACTIC CARE?​

    Lower back pain, neck pain, and chronic headaches are the main reasons most people decide to see a chiropractor. As a natural, holistic healing method that doesn’t involve drugs or surgery, chiropractic care is an ideal option for patients who are looking for pain relief, but want to avoid prescription medication or more invasive medical treatments. Some first-time patients may have already tried traditional treatment methods without success. Chiropractors take a whole-person approach to wellbeing by acknowledging that there are many factors that affect your health, including exercise, nutrition, sleep, environment, stress, and genetics. Although chiropractors do use spinal manipulation to make necessary structural adjustments, they also give their patients beneficial lifestyle recommendations, and empower them to be an active participant in their own health. Chiropractic care can help with a wide range of problems, including:


    - Postural problems - Low back pain - Herniated discs - Sciatica - Chronic headaches - Neck pain - Sprains and strains - Degenerative arthritis


    - Sports injuries


    - Chronic pain


    - Carpal tunnel


    - TMJ, or jaw disorders


    - Knee pain


    - Shoulder pain

  • HOW DOES CHIROPRACTIC TREATMENT WORK?

    At Ultimate Health Medical, our experienced chiropractors begin your initial consultation by discussing your health issues in detail and taking your medical history, including any pertinent family history. After that, you’ll undergo a comprehensive physical exam. Based on your medical history, health concerns, and your physical assessment, the team has enough information to form a working diagnosis. This helps them decide if imaging or lab tests, such as an MRI, CT scan, or X-ray, are required to confirm the diagnosis.


  • WHAT IS THE JOINT REJUVENATION PROTOCOL?

    Because every individual that comes to Ultimate Health Medical is different, our Joint Rejuvenation Protocol is personalized for each patient.


    Our team of healthcare providers have decades of experience and deploy a protocol pulling from nearly a dozen proven treatment modalities.
