If you are struggling with chronic muscle pain, Freedom Spine & Pain Center in Boerne, Texas, offers trigger point injections as an effective treatment.

What Are Trigger Point Injections?
Trigger point injections aim to relieve pain caused by tight, knotted areas in your muscles, known as trigger points. These points can develop from overuse, injury, or stress and can cause discomfort and limited movement. During the procedure, a small amount of medication is injected directly into the trigger point to relax the muscle. You’ll get relief from pain and tightness for several weeks.
This treatment is minimally invasive and performed in the office. It’s a convenient option if you’ve been living with chronic muscle tension or pain.
Conditions Treated With Trigger Point Injections
Trigger point injections can help manage several conditions that cause chronic pain. Common conditions that benefit from trigger point injections include:
Chronic Neck, Back, and Shoulder Pain: Persistent tension in these areas can make everyday tasks like turning your head or reaching for something feel nearly impossible. Trigger point injections help release that tension to restore your flexibility.
Fibromyalgia: Living with fibromyalgia often means dealing with widespread muscle pain and tenderness. Trigger point injections target specific areas of pain, giving you much-needed relief so you can feel more like yourself.
Tension Headaches: If you often find yourself battling headaches caused by stress or muscle tightness in your neck and shoulders, you know how debilitating they can be. Treating the trigger points can reduce how often the headaches occur and their intensity.
Myofascial Pain Syndrome: This chronic condition often develops from repetitive strain or an old injury, causing pain in specific muscle groups. Trigger point injections ease the immediate discomfort and also help prevent the pain from spreading to other areas.
