Trigger Point Injection Treatment in India

David Gupta, a 42-year-old software architect and father of two, had been battling chronic upper back and shoulder pain for three years after a minor car accident. His pain was a constant, deep ache with sharp, stabbing flares that made long hours at the computer agonizing and playing with his children difficult. He had tried physical therapy, massage, and medications with only temporary relief. His neurosurgeon, after confirming myofascial pain syndrome with multiple active trigger points in his trapezius and rhomboid muscles, recommended trigger point injections to break the pain cycle and allow more effective physical therapy. During the procedure, David felt a brief, intense 'zing' as the needle entered each knot, followed by immediate relief of tension. In recovery, he had some soreness for a day, but within a week, the constant background ache was 70% reduced. Emotionally, he had felt like a burden to his family and feared his career was at risk. After the procedure, he felt hopeful for the first time in years, regaining a sense of control and the ability to engage fully in his life again.
