Trigger Point Injections | Dr. Om Prakash Gupta

If you've been struggling with persistent muscle pain that doesn’t improve with rest, physical therapy, or medications, Trigger Point Injections (TPIs) could offer you the relief you've been looking for. As an orthopaedic and spine specialist, I often recommend TPIs to patients suffering from chronic muscle pain, especially when it's caused by muscle knots or tight bands of muscle fibers.

What Are Trigger Points?
Trigger points are tight, tender areas within muscles that can cause pain in the muscle itself and even refer pain to other areas of the body. These knots may develop due to muscle overuse, injury, stress, or poor posture.

Common symptoms include:

• Persistent muscle pain or stiffness
• Localized tenderness
• Pain that radiates to surrounding areas
• Reduced range of motion in the affected muscle

What Are Trigger Point Injections?
Trigger Point Injections are a minimally invasive treatment in which a small needle is used to inject a local anesthetic, sometimes combined with a corticosteroid, directly into the trigger point. This injection helps relax the muscle, reduce inflammation, and break the pain cycle.

Conditions Treated with TPIs
Trigger Point Injections can be highly effective for:

• Myofascial Pain Syndrome
• Neck and back pain
• Fibromyalgia
• Tension headaches
• Shoulder pain
• Postural strain-related muscle tension

What to Expect During the Procedure

1. Quick & Outpatient-Based: The procedure takes only a few minutes and is usually performed in a clinical setting.
2. Minimal Discomfort: You may feel a slight pinch or pressure during the injection.
3. Fast Relief: Many patients experience immediate or gradual pain relief within a few days.

• Can be repeated if necessary

Are There Any Side Effects?
Trigger Point Injections are generally safe. Mild side effects may include:

• Temporary soreness or bruising at the injection site
• Slight dizziness or fatigue (usually short-lived)
• Rarely, allergic reactions or infection
