Chronic muscle pain can drastically affect your quality of life, especially as you age. Traditional pain treatments often offer temporary relief, focusing on symptoms rather than the root cause.
At Freedom Spine & Pain Center, we offer a more effective solution through Trigger Point Therapy. Led by Dr. Rajesh K. Sharma, a board-certified specialist in Anesthesiology and Pain Management with extensive training in Interventional Pain Management, our approach targets the underlying muscle issues causing your pain. Dr. Sharma’s expertise ensures that each treatment plan is personalized to provide lasting relief.
If you’re seeking more than temporary symptom relief, Trigger Point Therapy could be the key to reclaiming your comfort and mobility.
Myofascial Pain
Myofascial pain is a type soft tissue pain syndrome characterized by local and referred pain originating from muscle trigger points. This condition often manifests in various forms, including bursitis, tenosynovitis (such as Achilles tendonitis), and enthesopathies (like tennis elbow). It can also be associated with more generalized soft tissue pain conditions, such as fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome.
At Freedom Spine & Pain Center, we specialize in treating myofascial pain through a comprehensive, multimodal approach. Trigger point therapy is a crucial component of this treatment.
What is Trigger Point Therapy?
Trigger points are small, sensitive spots in your muscles that can cause pain in other parts of your body. These “knots” often develop due to muscle overuse, stress, or injury, leading to a cycle of pain and discomfort. If left untreated, trigger points can limit mobility and significantly impact your quality of life.
Trigger Point Therapy focuses on these areas to relieve pain and restore function. One of the most effective forms of this therapy is trigger point injections. This minimally invasive treatment involves injecting a small amount of anesthetic or saline into the trigger point, helping to relax the muscle and relieve pain.
Benefits of Trigger Point Injections
For many individuals suffering from chronic muscle pain, trigger point injections offer a targeted solution that can provide immediate and lasting relief. Here are some of the key benefits:
- Precision: Unlike general pain relief methods, trigger point injections directly target the source of pain, offering a more effective solution.
- Quick Relief: Many patients experience significant pain reduction shortly after the injection, allowing them to return to daily activities with minimal disruption.
- Minimally Invasive: The procedure is quick, requiring little recovery time. This makes it an ideal option for older adults who may prefer to avoid surgery or other more invasive treatments.
- Part of a Comprehensive Treatment Plan: Trigger point injections can be combined with other forms of targeted muscle therapy to address broader pain issues, ensuring a holistic approach to pain management.
