TRIGGER POINT INJECTIONS

Unlocking Relief: Understanding Trigger Point Injections for Pain Management

Living with chronic pain can greatly impact your quality of life, making everyday activities a challenge. If you're seeking effective pain relief, trigger point injections could be the solution you've been looking for. At Accelerate Medical, we specialize in providing relief through trigger point injections, helping you regain control and comfort.

What Are Trigger Points?

Trigger points are tight knots of muscle fibers that form when muscles are overworked, injured, or stressed. These knots can cause pain, discomfort, and referred pain to other areas of the body. They are commonly found in muscles that are frequently used or strained, leading to pain that can be debilitating.

The Trigger Point Injection Procedure

Trigger point injections are a minimally invasive procedure aimed at reducing pain and muscle tension. Here's what you can expect during the process:

Diagnosis: Our medical professionals identify trigger points through a physical examination and discussion of your symptoms.
Preparation: The skin above the trigger point is cleaned and sterilized to prevent infection.
Injection: A local anesthetic or a combination of anesthetic and corticosteroid is injected directly into the trigger point. This helps relax the muscle and alleviate pain.
Observation: You will be monitored for a short period after the injection to ensure there are no adverse reactions.

Benefits of Trigger Point Injections

Quick Relief

Many individuals experience immediate pain relief due to the numbing effect of the anesthetic.

Muscle Relaxation

The injection helps release tension in the muscle, promoting relaxation.

Improved Range of Motion

Reduced muscle tightness leads to increased mobility and flexibility.

Non-Surgical Solution

Trigger point injections are a non surgical option, minimizing risks and downtime.

Conditions Treated with Trigger Point Injections

Trigger point injections are effective for various conditions, including:

Myofascial Pain Syndrome

Chronic muscle pain caused by trigger points.

Fibromyalgia

Widespread pain and tenderness often associated with trigger points.

Tension Headaches

Painful headaches often originating from trigger points in the neck and shoulders.

Back Pain

Satisfied Patients

For Almost 40 Years

Dr. Stauss has been the best. He always makes me feel like a person and not a patient. He knows what he is doing and is always willing to listen to issues and answer questions I have. I have seen many doctors for my pain and none of them have been as helpful as him and his staff.
Dr. Stauss is kind, compassionate, and truly cares about his patients. I have been a patient for a while, and he does everything he can to manage my pain and make sure I am comfortable. I highly recommend Dr. Stauss and Advanced Pain Management.
Dr Stauss is the most compassionate doctor I have had in this 16 yr journey of chronic back pain . He takes the time to listen to you and helps you decide what treatment will help give you back your life with less pain. He is amazing. I have 75 % pain relief. I never thought I would have a life with minimal pain again.
The thought of never being able to work again let alone participate in physical activity was depressing. Dr. Stauss went over the available options and with his help I selected an intrathecal pain pump. I can tell you it changed my life. It enabled me to continue working and participate in some physical activities! I can't thank Dr. Stauss and his physician assistant P.A. Greg Cavanaugh enough. They have bought me 10 yrs. of relative normalcy. I would highly recommend both of them. Thank you to both and the team at Advanced Pain Management
