What are Trigger Point Injections?

Trigger Point Injections (TPIs) are a non-surgical treatment used to relieve muscle pain and stiffness caused by tight knots, also known as trigger points. These painful knots can develop in muscles due to stress, overuse, injury, or underlying conditions like fibromyalgia and myofascial pain syndrome.

Trigger Point Injections contain a small dose of anesthetic, saline, or corticosteroid, which helps relax the muscle and improve circulation to the affected area, reducing pain and inflammation.

Common conditions treated with Trigger Point Injections:

  • Chronic muscle pain & stiffness

  • Neck, shoulder & back pain

  • Tension headaches & migraines

  • Fibromyalgia & myofascial pain syndrome

  • Sports injuries & muscle spasms

At Ilara MD in Sunnyvale, we customize each treatment to provide targeted pain relief and improved mobility.

How Do Trigger Point Injections Work?

  1. Assessment – The provider identifies trigger points in the affected muscle groups.

  2. Injection – A small needle delivers a medication mixture to relax the muscle.

  3. Relief & Recovery – Pain relief typically begins within a few hours to a couple of days, with improved movement and reduced tension.

Most patients experience long-lasting relief, but multiple sessions may be needed for chronic conditions or severe muscle tightness.
