Trigger Point Injection with Cortisone 1- 2 points

A trigger point is a discreet, tender area where the muscle becomes inflamed causing pain and discomfort, usually caused by over usage of that muscle.  Trigger points can cause fibromyalgia, tension headaches, muscle spasms, inflammation of the skeletal muscle, limited range of motion, and lower back pain.  A trigger point injection (TPI) helps treat painful areas of large muscles on the arms, legs, neck, and lower back.  During the TPI procedure the physician injects the corticosteroid into the trigger point, helping relieve pain in that area.
