Trigger point infiltrations are a minimally invasive therapeutic technique used for the treatment of musculoskeletal pain originating from muscle spasms and localized hyperirritable points (trigger points).
Technical procedure
The treatment involves the targeted injection of a small amount of local anesthetic, with or without corticosteroid, directly into the muscle trigger point. This approach helps reduce muscle spasm, inflammation, and local hypersensitivity.
Therapeutic goal
• Inactivation of muscular tension points
• Reduction of muscle pain and tenderness
• Relaxation of muscle hypertonicity
• Improvement of mobility and function
Indications
• Chronic muscle pain in the neck, thorax, or lower back
• Myofascial pain syndromes
• Tension-type headaches
• Pain following muscle overuse or injury
Benefits
• Immediate pain relief
• Improved muscle relaxation
• Minimally invasive and safe technique
Technical approach
The procedure is performed exclusively using anatomical landmarks (landmarks).
