Trigger Point Pain Management

Trigger points are areas of muscle that are tight and tender. They are often associated with muscle spasm and can cause pain both at rest and when the muscle is in use. They can also cause “referred pain,” which is pain in an area different from where the actual trigger point is located.

There are several ways to manage trigger point pain, and the best approach will vary depending on the individual and the specific trigger points involved. For people who have failed conservative treatment (including stretching, heat therapy and massage) tripper point injections may be the solution. At Aledo Empowered Wellness we can help you determine whether or not trigger point injections would be beneficial for you.
