What are Trigger Point Injections?

Many chronic pain patients have pain, tightness, or stiffness that arises from distortion of soft tissues. Soft tissues include muscles and connective tissue, like fascia. Fascia connects our skin, muscles, nerves and bones together throughout our bodies.

Trigger point injections (TPI) can improve pain and function by making changes in these soft tissues. Commonly, pain arises from multiple trigger points in our soft tissues which can be anywhere on the body.
