Experience Lasting Relief with Trigger Point Therapy at Active Pain Relief

September 6, 2024

Active Pain Relief’s Trigger Point Therapy offers an innovative solution to pain management. The technique works by injecting local anesthetic (lidocaine) directly into sensitive areas within muscle tissue that are in a state of constant spasm that causes significant discomfort or restricts mobility. Our innovative technique targets specific neuromuscular junctions and resets to reduce spasming. Not only does our method bring immediate comfort, but it also works towards normalizing normal function, promoting long-term health, promoting comfort, and long-term relief!

Trigger Point Therapy seeks to identify and target the source of muscle pain by targeting hyperirritable spots within muscle tissue that cause widespread discomfort, often disrupting normal muscle function and leading to painful spasms or cycles of pain. By injecting lidocaine-saline mixtures directly into trigger points, we hope to interrupt this pain cycle effectively. Lidocaine acts as an anesthetic, quickly numbing the area while interrupting pain signals sent directly from our bodies into our brains. Saline not only helps provide rapid relief of pain but can also relax muscles quickly and reset them, flushing away inflammatory mediators responsible for pain and swelling to break the pain-spasm cycle and provide long-lasting comfort.

Beginning the procedure involves conducting an in-depth assessment, including reviewing their medical history and current medications to identify any allergies or contraindications for proceeding with surgery. Our highly skilled healthcare providers then conduct a physical examination to locate trigger points and assess muscle spasms and pain levels associated with them. With our team’s use of sterile techniques, they inject an appropriate dose of lidocaine solution directly into trigger points to treat them with maximum effectiveness and to manage any possible complications that might arise post-injection. After injection, patients are monitored closely for any immediate side effects as well as given advice about self-care such as applying ice or heat and refraining from strenuous activity. 

Trigger Point Therapy can be extremely useful for numerous ailments, including chronic backache, tension headaches, myofascial pain syndrome and fibromyalgia. Targeting specific muscle groups allows us to reduce back discomfort, alleviate headaches caused by neck and shoulder tension headaches, as well as ease widespread muscle soreness. At our facility, our approach goes far beyond mere pain relief to actively restore and rejuvenate affected muscles, increasing flexibility while decreasing stiffness, increasing range of motion, and optimizing health and mobility. Each treatment plan is custom-tailored to each of our patient’s individual needs, providing optimal health and mobility solutions.

Trigger Point Therapy’s advantages are extensive. By injecting medication directly into areas of muscle tension and pain, Trigger Point Therapy offers targeted relief quickly through local anesthetic’s rapid action on localized areas of tension or discomfort, with minimal side effects–usually limited to temporary soreness or bruising–allowing patients to resume daily activities shortly after treatment. Trigger Point Therapy improves mobility while simultaneously decreasing dependence on oral pain medication usage by offering long-term relief through regular sessions; its versatility makes it suitable for treating many conditions while helping prevent future episodes by maintaining muscle health and function over time.
