Trigger Point Injections
Sometimes, after an accident, your muscles cannot relax properly, which leads to painful knots. Intercare Medical knows how to relieve this pain with trigger point injections, or TPI. These injections deliver medication focused directly on the pain trigger point, offering fast and long-lasting relief.

After your initial comprehensive exam, we will refer you for imaging, most likely an MRI. We can look at the results of an MRI and see soft-tissue damage. Your Intercare doctor will be able to see the knots causing pain in your muscles, which lets us know exactly where to deliver the trigger point injection. Using a small needle, we deliver medicine directly to the tight, painful knots, helping them relax. This is a quick, easy procedure that delivers fast – if not immediate results – for some very painful conditions.
Advantages of trigger point injections
There are many advantages to getting trigger point injections, including:
Pain relief: They offer fast, effective, and long-lasting pain relief.
Low risk of side effects: Almost all medications come with side effects, but trigger point injections have a very low risk. Some patients report soreness or numbness at the injection site that usually goes away quickly.
No downtime or recovery period: Because TPI is non-surgical, you just get the shot and continue your day as normal. You’ll be able to drive yourself home afterward and resume your daily activities.
Treats a variety of conditions: Trigger point injections can be used to relieve pain in your back, neck, joints, limbs, headaches, TMJ pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, and much more.
