If you’re suffering from a pain condition and traditional treatments fail to alleviate your symptoms, contact Next Level Medical Centers to schedule an evaluation.
During your exam, your provider at Next Level Medical Centers asks detailed questions about your symptoms and medical history. To find the trigger points responsible for your symptoms, your provider may press on certain muscle groups when performing your physical.
The team at Next Level Medical Centers provides trigger point injections to treat trigger points. During the procedure, your medical provider injects either an anesthetic or saline solution directly into your trigger point. The injection inactivates the irritated muscle knot and provides instant relief.
How many trigger point injections do I need?
The team at Next Level Medical Centers determines the number of trigger point injections you need based on the number of trigger points found during your initial consultation. However, your medical provider may perform multiple trigger point injections in one visit.
For long-term pain relief, the team may recommend a series of trigger point injections, as well as chiropractic care, physical rehabilitation, or intravenous (IV) therapy.
