About Myofascial Trigger Point Injection

A Myofascial Trigger Point Injection is a minimally invasive therapeutic procedure performed by a neurologist to relieve chronic muscle pain and dysfunction. It involves the precise injection of a local anesthetic, sometimes combined with a corticosteroid, directly into a hyperirritable knot (trigger point) within a taut band of skeletal muscle. These trigger points are a hallmark of myofascial pain syndrome and can cause referred pain, muscle weakness, and restricted range of motion. The injection aims to deactivate the trigger point, break the pain cycle, reduce local inflammation, and restore normal muscle function. It is often part of a comprehensive treatment plan that includes physical therapy and lifestyle modifications.
