OVERVIEW

ABOUT TRIGGER POINT INJECTIONS

Trigger point injections are prepared especially to loosen up persistent muscle knots that are unwilling to release. Each person has these knots differently. For some, it is a bolt of pain in the shoulder that runs along the arm. For others, it is a hump of the lower back that is stuck, knotted up, despite repeated stretching. Stretching, heat, and rest work for a limited time, but the strain comes back. Through Modern Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine, the injection is one method of calming down the muscle and loosening it up. Through a thin needle, a small dose of medication is deposited into the knotty area. Twitching and relaxation of the muscle ensue. Immediate relief is seen by some patients, while others do not feel a difference until after a day or so. Results tend to stick around longer when treatment or simple exercises are utilized along with the injection.

SCHEDULE

REQUEST AN APPOINTMENT

Relief typically requires more than one injection. Treatments are spaced out over time so the muscle stays relaxed and progress builds.

DIAGNOSE

EXAM & IMAGING

Your first appointment includes an exam. A therapist checks for knots, reviews your history, and decides if injections are the right approach.

TREATMENTS

CUSTOM TREATMENT PROGRAM

Treatment is quick. A fine needle places medication into the knot. Some patients feel instant release, others notice relief as soreness fades.

FOLLOW UP

I cannot say enough, good things about my experience here. From the moment you walk in the staff is welcoming, kind, and professional, making each appointment something to look forward to rather than a chore. They genuinely listen to your feedback. On days when my pain was elevated, they immediately modified my routine to make sure I was safe and comfortable while still making progress definitely five stars.

I had an outstanding experience over the past several months at the Chandler location after a meniscus repair surgery. Collin is a top notch Physical Therapist, and he seemed to know exactly how far to push me each week. Thanks to him and all of the incredible assistants, I am now back to 100%. If I ever do get injured again and need PT, I wouldn’t consider going anywhere else but here.

Had a rib out of place and resulting back pain. Noah and his team had me feeling better after 1 visit, and 90% pain free after 6 weeks. I kept up the exercises at home and can’t remember the last time I had back pain. They were even flexible with all the traveling I do for work.

What Are You Experiencing?

It's likely you don't know what services you need and only know that you are experiencing pain. To help us figure out how to help you, fill out this short form about the pain and discomfort you are experiencing. We'll contact you shortly to discuss what might be the cause of your pain issues and how we might be able to help.

LOW HIGH

SEVERE PAIN

If your pain feels unbearable or you can’t think straight, please don’t wait; call 911 or head to the hospital right away. Get the urgent care first. Once you’re safe, we’ll be here to help with the next steps.

MODERATE PAIN / DISCOMFORT

This is the kind of pain that doesn’t stop you completely, but it makes every day harder. Maybe it’s sharp. Maybe it’s dull and won’t let up. Write down what it feels like. We’ll go over it with you and start figuring out what’s behind it.

MINOR PAINS & ACHES

Even the small stuff matters. A stiff back in the morning, sore joints after work, or little aches that keep showing up are all worth paying attention to. Tell us what you’ve been noticing, and we’ll help you stay on top of it before it gets worse.

Answering Your Questions

What are trigger points?

Trigger points are bands of knotted muscle fibers that are contracted and are painful. They can limit movement or radiate pain into other areas and are common at the shoulder, back, or hip.

Do the injections hurt?

Each person is different, but most people will only experience a momentary pinch with very little soreness later. The relief will generally prevail over the temporary discomfort as movement will be easier and cause less pain.

How many treatments are required?

It will depend on the obstinacy of the knots. There are patients who will improve after some sessions and others who will require more. Each program is tailored individually.

Can you return to normal activities after an injection?

Yes. Most patients tend to return to their activity shortly. Movement tends to be encouraged since it prevents the knot from coming back.

Are trigger point injections safe?

Yes. The procedure is completely safe as we use sterile needles, and it is performed by trained professionals. The treatment is low risk and adjusted for each patient’s needs.

MODERN PHYSICAL THERAPY & SPORTS MEDICINE
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
