OVERVIEW

ABOUT TRIGGER POINT INJECTION SERVICES

Some muscle pain just won't quit. You press on the spot and there it is, a tight, tender knot that's been parked in your shoulder or your back or your neck for weeks. You stretch it, dig at it, lean on it against a doorframe. It loosens for an hour, then locks right back up. Those knots have a name. Trigger points. And they're behind a lot of stubborn muscle pain, partly because they don't just hurt where they sit. They send the ache somewhere else, too, so a knot in your upper back might throw pain into your shoulder blade or up into your head. A trigger point injection puts a small amount of medication straight into that knot to break the cycle, calm the muscle, and ease the pain it's been radiating. For pain that's deep and stubborn and out of reach of everything you've tried at home, it gets right to the source. We figure out whether trigger points are driving your pain, then go after them directly.

Relief sometimes takes more than one round. At our Goodyear clinic, injections are spaced out sensibly, so the muscle has time to respond between sessions.

DIAGNOSE

EXAM & IMAGING

We find the trigger points by feel and check how your pain refers. That first step keeps the injections aimed at the knots, actually driving it.

TREATMENTS

CUSTOM TREATMENT PROGRAM

A thin needle delivers a small dose of medication into the trigger point at Modern Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine of Goodyear, AZ. The muscle releases, and the pain eases.

FOLLOW UP

WE CALL TO CHECK IN

Check-ins keep the relief on track. At our Goodyear clinic, we see how the muscle responded and pair the injections with movement work so it lasts.

Office was very welcoming from the moment you walked into the office, Marissa and Kelsey were there to greet me. They know all of their patients and treat them like family. Dr. Dault was AMAZING. SHE listened and really searched to find the answers to my pain. Eric was very thorough when doing my ultrasound to diagnose my issue. Their recommendations helped me and in the end my pain decreased! Thank you to the entire team!

I was in a pretty dark place before starting at the Chandler location. My low back pain was completely debilitating and affecting the quality of my life for many years. I saw Phil once a week for 6 weeks and feel stronger and more confident than I have in many, many years. Phil explained the results of my MRI in great detail and answered my questions (as trivial as they might have been) with respect and understanding... I have been to many physical therapists before and the results I got here were the best. I highly recommend the Chandler location and will go back again if I ever need to!

Where do I start with the praise for this Team of miracle workers... I had suffered from chronic lower back pain for the last 8 years due to 32 years of golf and upper back pain due to 13 years of sitting at a desk. I utilized a chiropractor for the past 7 years but the pain ALWAYS came back and I NEVER got better. One visit with Dr. Josh and two X-rays showed the problem was stemming from my foot and a collapsing arch—which my previous chiropractor NEVER took the time to explore and diagnose.

SEVERE PAIN

If you are experiencing severe pain that is not intolerable, don’t wait. Call 911 or proceed directly to your nearby hospital. When the emergency is treated, we will then be prepared to work together to assist you in gaining longer-term relief.

MODERATE PAIN / DISCOMFORT

Maybe your pain isn’t keeping you back, but it is making daily living a bit harder than it has to be. If it’s sharp, annoying, or keeps coming back, let us know what you’re dealing with. We can start together to investigate why it’s happening and how we can make it better.

MINOR PAINS & ACHES

The stiffness, soreness, or occasional pains are great things to bring to our attention. Let us know what you’ve been experiencing, and we’ll point you in the direction of care that prevents small issues from turning into large ones.

Answering Your Questions

What's the difference between this and dry needling?

The main one is what's in the needle. Dry needling uses a thin needle with nothing on it. A trigger point injection delivers a small amount of medication, often a local anesthetic, into the knot.

Does the injection hurt?

There's a quick pinch as the needle goes in, and the muscle sometimes gives a brief twitch or cramp that passes in a second. Most people find it very manageable. The medication tends to make the spot feel better fairly fast, and any soreness afterward usually fades within a day or two.

How soon will I feel relief?

It varies. Some people notice the knot let go and the pain drops within a day. Others need a session or two before it really settles. The injection eases the muscle, and the movement work that follows is what keeps it from tightening back up.

What kinds of pain do trigger point injections help with?

They work best on muscle pain driven by those tight knots. Long-running neck and shoulder tension, lower back pain with knots that refer into the hip, tension headaches tied to a tight neck, and stubborn spots that won't release, no matter how much you stretch.

Is this a permanent fix?

On its own, usually not. The injection releases the knot, but if whatever caused it is still there, it can come back. That's why we pair it with strengthening and movement work. Sorting out the underlying cause is what makes the relief stick.

CEO

"When an athlete gets injured, a team of doctors and therapists evaluates them, orders imaging, and decides the best path forward. If surgery is needed, they go straight to surgery; if not, they get condition-specific physical therapy and targeted injections to speed healing. This is the same process pro athletes use to get back on the field quickly—and at Modern, you can access that same level of care for the same cost as any other physical therapy clinic." - Josh Adams

Without Advanced Imaging

Your PT

is Operating Blindly.

WHY WE'RE DIFFERENT

CHOOSING THE MODERN WAY

What separates MODERN SPORTS MEDICINE from just about every other company is our physical therapists and orthopedists utlize advanced imaging technology to enable them to SEE what they are doing. Everyone else is operating blindly.
