Are you tired of dealing with chronic muscle pain that just won’t go away? Do you struggle with muscle stiffness, spasms, or tension that disrupt your daily life?

At NuJoint Chiropractic, we understand how frustrating and debilitating these conditions can be. That’s why we offer Trigger Point Injections (TPI)—an innovative and effective treatment designed to provide relief.

These injections target localized muscle pain caused by trigger points—painful, tight knots in the muscle tissue that can also cause referred pain in other areas of the body.

With TPIs, we help you find the relief you need to get back to living your life comfortably.

Trigger points are hyperirritable spots found in taut bands of skeletal muscle. When pressure is applied to these spots, they can cause intense pain, often radiating to other areas, and may lead to restricted movement or discomfort that persists for weeks, months, or even longer.

Trigger points are commonly caused by repetitive motions, poor posture, muscle overuse, stress, or injury, and are frequently found in the neck, shoulders, back, and legs.

Trigger Point Injections (TPI) involve injecting a small amount of medication—typically a local anesthetic or corticosteroid—directly into the affected muscle.

This process helps to break the cycle of pain by relaxing the muscle fibers, decreasing inflammation, and improving blood flow to the area. The goal is to provide immediate relief from the muscle spasms and pain caused by the trigger point.

The procedure is minimally invasive and typically involves the following steps:

• Initial Assessment: Dr. Natalie Hair, Oklahoma Chiropractor at Gold Buckle Chiropractic will first perform a thorough evaluation to determine the exact location of the trigger points and assess your overall musculoskeletal health.
• Injection Process: Once the trigger point is identified, a fine needle is used to deliver the medication directly into the muscle knot. The injection may feel like a quick pinch, and some discomfort is normal, but the procedure is generally well-tolerated.
• Post-Injection Care: After the injection, you may experience immediate relief as the muscle relaxes. In some cases, the pain may temporarily worsen before it starts to improve. Dr. Natalie will provide guidance on stretching, physical therapy home exercises, and lifestyle adjustments to support your recovery and prevent future muscle tightness.

Trigger Point Injections can offer a variety of benefits for individuals suffering from muscle-related pain, including:

• Immediate Pain Relief: Many patients experience significant relief from muscle tension and pain shortly after the injection.

• Improved Range of Motion: By relaxing tight muscles, TPIs help restore mobility and flexibility, making it easier to move without discomfort.
• Long-Term Results: While the injection provides immediate relief, it can also help prevent further muscle spasms and recurring pain episodes when combined with chiropractic adjustments and other therapeutic modalities.
• Non-Surgical Solution: Unlike more invasive treatments such as surgery, trigger point injections are a non-surgical, minimally invasive solution that avoids the need for long recovery periods.
• Customized Treatment Plan: At Gold Buckle Chiropractic, your care plan is personalized based on your specific symptoms and goals. We combine trigger point injections with other chiropractic treatments like spinal adjustments, massage therapy, and physical rehabilitation to offer a holistic approach to pain relief.
