OVERVIEW
ABOUT TRIGGER POINT INJECTIONS
Trigger point injections are for those stubborn knots that never loosen, no matter what you try. Some patients describe them as hard little bumps in the muscle that stay sore all day. Others feel a pulling ache that spreads into the neck, arms, or hips. For a few, it is more like a constant cramp that drains energy and makes every movement feel restricted. These knots get in the way of daily life by interrupting sleeping through the night, turning your head to drive, and standing at the counter for more than a few minutes. Heat, massage, and stretching may give short-term relief, but the pain usually returns. At Modern Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine of Peoria, AZ, injections are one way to break that cycle. A thin needle delivers medicine directly into the knot. The muscle may twitch, then relax. For some people, relief is quick. For others, it builds gradually over the next day or two.
BOOKING APPOINTMENTS
Scheduling is simple. Call the Peoria clinic or book online. Our staff explains how the injections work, answers your questions, and makes sure you are ready for your first visit.

Most patients need more than a single injection. At Peoria, treatments are spaced out over weeks so the muscle has time to stay relaxed and adjust.
DIAGNOSE
EXAM & IMAGING
The first visit includes an exam. The therapist checks where the knots are, how they react to touch, and whether injections are the right option.
TREATMENTS
CUSTOM TREATMENT PROGRAM
Treatment is quick. A fine needle is inserted into the knot with a small dose of medication. Some feel release right away, others notice the change as soreness fades.

DJ at Modern Sports Medicine Physical Therapy and Orthopedics in Peoria, AZ is by far the best physical therapist I’ve worked with! He is extremely knowledgeable, professional, and clearly knows what he’s doing. His hands-on manipulation and manual therapy is over the top! I came from another physical therapy practice, and the care there wasn’t even close to the level I’ve received here. I’m very happy I made the switch and met DJ. Highly recommend him and this clinic. He is the best!!

I had a bad knee injury due to a sidewalk fall resulting in some major swelling, cuts and bruises and a slightly impacted meniscus tear. After seeing my PCP and having x-rays, I was directed to Physical Therapy. I searched several facilities and landed at Modern PT. I worked directly with DJ Repp for about 8 weeks and have to say DJ & his team are amazing. They were personable, and highly pro in all that they did in guiding the process to recovery. They work "together" with you according to a pace that you're comfortable with, while providing just enough challenge to keep you forward focused. I recovered so well under their great care. I would highly recommended this particular office at 83rd Ave & Cactus! in Peoria.

What Are You Experiencing?
Pain is hard to put into words. You might not have a good sense of what kind of care you need, and that’s OK. What matters is how things are right now. Please fill out this short form to summarize how things are. We will then follow up and take you through what may be causing the pain, as well as what may work as a solution.
LOW HIGH
SEVERE PAIN
If the pain is severe or more than you can manage, don’t wait. Call 911 or go straight to a hospital. Safety comes first. After that, we can help you find longer-term relief.
MODERATE PAIN / DISCOMFORT
Sometimes, pain may not bring you to your knees, but it still disrupts your daily life. Perhaps it’s intermittent and stabbing, or maybe it’s just present during the day. Let’s get those details from you, and we’ll do our best to determine what’s causing it.
MINOR PAINS & ACHES
Little aches hurt just as badly. A sore shoulder, stiff knees, or a throbbing ache that shows itself every once in a while can still take its toll. Let us know how you’ve been doing, and we’ll take care of it for you before it grows into something bigger.

Answering Your Questions
How do I know if what I feel is a trigger point?
Trigger points usually feel like tight knots or bands in the muscle that hurt when pressed. They often send pain into other areas. At the Peoria clinic, patients describe them as spots they can always point to, no matter the day.
Will I be sore after an injection?
It’s common to feel mild soreness for a short time. Most patients describe it as similar to post-workout soreness. Relief often grows as that soreness fades and the muscle stays relaxed.
How many injections are usually needed?
It varies. Some patients improve after just a few sessions. Others with long-standing pain may need more. The plan is adjusted around your progress and how the muscle responds.
Can I keep working or exercising after an injection?
Most patients return to normal activity the same day. Light movement is usually encouraged because it helps keep the muscle from tightening again. At Peoria, therapists provide specific advice for safe activity.
Is this treatment safe for seniors with other health issues?
Yes. The needle is very fine, and the dose of medication is small. At Modern Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine of Peoria, AZ, safety checks are always done first, especially for patients with health conditions.
