Trigger point injections are a quick, in-office procedure designed to relieve pain and tension caused by tight knots in your muscles — also known as trigger points. These knots can form due to stress, overuse, poor posture, or injury and often cause localized pain in areas like the neck, shoulders, or back.
During the procedure, a small needle delivers a combination of local anesthetic and anti-inflammatory medication (typically toradol) directly into the knot, helping the muscle relax and relieving discomfort. The treatment takes just minutes, and many patients feel better almost immediately.
Trigger point injections are part of Simpson Medical’s broader approach to pain management and whole-body wellness, often paired with stretching, therapy, and education to prevent recurrence.
The treatment is fast, precise, and tailored to your pain pattern. You’ll be evaluated to determine exactly where the muscle knot is and how long you’ve been experiencing symptoms.
