How does a trigger point injection alleviate my pain?

A trigger point injection is an injection of medication into the affected areas of the muscle or the scar to relieve pain. A combination of two medications is used in this injection: a local anesthetic and a steroid. The local anesthetic provides immediate pain relief by numbing the area of injection.

The numbing effect will typically wear off in 4-6 hours. The steroid provides pain relief by reducing the inflammation in the area of the trigger point. The steroid can take 2-10 days to begin working.

A series of injections may be needed to provide the desired pain relief. POST-PROCEDURE INSTRUCTIONS ACTIVITY: - Do not drive or operate machinery on the day of your procedure. - Avoid strenuous activity or heavy lifting for the rest of the day.
