Trigger Point Injections
Here at Quality of Life Medical Center, we are proud to offer trigger point injections for patients struggling with fibromyalgia, tension headaches, myofascial pain, and muscle pain in the arms, legs, lower back, and neck. During your appointment with the nurse practitioner, they will locate the area where you are experiencing pain and inject small amounts of anesthetic (Lidocaine or Sarapin) and saline (crystalloid fluid) to help alleviate your muscle and joint symptoms.
This procedure is safe, and the risk of possible complications is very low. You may experience soreness or numbness at the injection site for a temporary period of time. While you should avoid strenuous activity for a few days, you should be able to actively use your muscles immediately following treatment.
