Chronic muscle tightness or knots can make even simple movements uncomfortable. Trigger point injections target these painful spots directly, helping release tension and improve mobility.
At Wallenpaupack Medical, Kelly Gorman, MSN, CRNP, FNP-BC, MBA, NRP, provides trigger point injections with a careful, compassionate approach. Her medical expertise ensures treatments are safe, precise, and designed to bring you meaningful relief.
What Are Trigger Point Injections?
Trigger points are tight areas of muscle that can cause pain in the surrounding area. A trigger point injection involves placing medication—often a local anesthetic, sometimes with an anti-inflammatory—directly into the muscle to relax it.
These injections can help with:
- Neck and shoulder pain
- Lower back pain
- Muscle spasms
- Tension headaches related to tight muscles
What to Expect During Treatment
Treatment is quick, often lasting less than 15 minutes. A small needle is used to deliver the medication directly into the trigger point. Relief may be felt right away or within a few days, depending on the severity of the tension.
