TPIs are a procedure used to treat painful areas of muscle that contain trigger points, or knots of muscle that form when muscles do not relax. These points can cause pain in surrounding areas, as well. During the procedure, a healthcare provider injects a small amount of anesthetic, sometimes combined with a steroid, directly into the trigger point to help relieve pain and improve mobility.
TPIs are often used to treat myofascial pain syndrome, fibromyalgia, tension headaches, neck pain, and low back pain. They can also be beneficial for patients with conditions involving muscle tightness and spasms.
TPIs work by delivering medication directly into the painful muscle area, which can help interrupt pain signals, reduce muscle tension, and improve blood flow. This helps to release the trigger point and provide relief from pain and stiffness.
Patients may feel a brief prick when the needle is inserted, and there can be mild discomfort as the medication is injected. Some patients experience soreness afterward, but most find the injections well-tolerated.
Relief can vary by person, but many patients experience immediate relief or feel improvement within a few hours. For others, it may take a day or two for the full effect to be noticed.
The duration of relief varies by individual, ranging from a few days to several weeks. Some patients may require repeated injections to maintain pain relief, while others may find long-term relief after only a few treatments.
Side effects are generally mild and may include temporary pain or soreness at the injection site, minor bleeding, or bruising. Serious side effects are rare but may include infection or an allergic reaction to the medication.
Patients with allergies to the medication used, active infections near the injection site, or certain bleeding disorders may not be suitable candidates. Always consult with a healthcare provider to determine if TPIs are appropriate for you.
No special preparation is usually needed, though patients may be advised to avoid certain medications that could increase bleeding risk. It’s best to follow any pre-procedure instructions given by your healthcare provider.
The frequency of TPIs depends on the individual and their response to treatment. Some may need injections every few weeks, while others may benefit from a more spaced-out schedule.
