About Trigger Points

A trigger point is a “knot” in the muscle or a spot of sensitivity in the tissue surrounding the muscle. These areas can cause significant muscle cramps, which can lead to pain in the neck, back, and other areas of the body. At Lewis Pain & Physical Medicine, Dr. Jerry Lewis provides trigger point injection therapy for patients who are experiencing pain related to tight muscles. A trigger point injection involves injecting a combination of an anesthetic and a cortisone steroid into the trigger point. This works to diminish pain and make the trigger point inactive. Contact our Frisco, TX office to learn more about trigger point injections and how they can relieve muscle pain.

Suffering from ongoing pain due to knots in your muscle at your trigger points does not have to dictate your life. At Lewis Pain & Physical Medicine, trigger point injections help give our patients a number of benefits, including:

  • Long-sought after pain relief
  • Targeted treatment for small, hard-to-access pain points
  • Allow you to return to activity and lifestyle that you may have avoided
  • Freedom from chronic pain and discomfort

Ideal Candidates for Trigger Point Injections

Trigger points can be caused by overuse of the muscle, injury, and trauma. They can also be due to a chronic condition, such as fibromyalgia or myofascial pain syndrome. In some cases, trigger points may occur in the form of tension headaches, tinnitus, temporomandibular joint pain, decreased range of motion, and low back pain. Dr. Lewis may first suggest physical therapy or other forms of less invasive treatment for minor trigger points or as an initial treatment option before suggesting trigger point injections.

Procedure Technique

Dr. Lewis performs trigger point injections as an in-office procedure. The entire procedure only takes a few minutes and several areas can be treated in one visit. Dr. Lewis may mark the area being treated before injecting the anesthetic and cortisone steroid medication into the affected areas. Patients should be able to leave the office directly following their treatment.

What to Expect after Trigger Point Injections

Patients can expect to feel pain relief shortly after the injections because of the anesthetic. In many cases, only a one-time injection procedure can help resolve a trigger point. However, if the trigger point was caused by a chronic condition, regular injections may be required to maintain results. Dr. Lewis will work with you to create an appropriate treatment plan that can be the most effective for your specific condition.

My PA Erica has been absolutely amazing in the last 4 years of treatment of my chronic pain. The office staff are great, and the entire team is a pleasure to work with. I know seeing all excellent reviews seems "fake" but they truly are great and caring. They listen to your concerns, help evaluate medical tests together with you, and most importantly (again) LISTEN to you. My previous pain management doctor were judgmental and made me feel bad for being in pain at my age. I'm glad I was referred to Lewis Pain.

Dr Lewis is the best pain management Dr I have ever seen. Back injections by other Drs only lasted about a week and the pain returned. My last injection by Dr Lewis was 3 months ago and still no pain. He is the best and his bedside manner is also top notch. And the entire staff is friendly and efficient, office runs very smoothly. They even provide leather power recliners for their patients in every exam room!

The knot will be massaged by your provider following the injection to help smooth out any tension and to distribute the injection evenly.
How long will the injections last?
Most patients experience up to 30 days of pain relief from their trigger point injections. You may experience slightly more or less relief, depending on the severity of your injury. Lewis Pain & Physical Management will work with you to time out your injections to best manage your pain.
