What Are Trigger Point Injections for Muscle Pain?

Muscle pain is a common complaint among patients with chronic pain conditions. In some cases, pain originates from specific tight areas within the muscle known as trigger points.

Trigger points are localized regions of muscle tension that can cause pain both at the site and in referred areas.

Trigger point injections are used to target these areas directly. The injection helps relax the muscle and reduce pain.

This approach is often considered when muscle tension contributes significantly to the patient’s symptoms.

It is typically used alongside other treatments as part of a comprehensive plan.

If you are experiencing persistent muscle pain in Montréal or Gatineau, Dr. Langlois can assess appropriate treatment options.
