Targeted Relief Where It Hurts Most
Ease Muscle Pain with Trigger Point Injections
If you’re dealing with painful muscle knots that just won’t go away, Trigger Point Injections can offer fast and lasting relief. At Kumar Medical Pain Management P.C., Dr. Ashish Kumar provides advanced, image-guided injections to release tight muscle bands and reduce chronic pain — safely and effectively.
What Are Trigger Point Injections?
Trigger points are tight, tender spots in your muscles that can cause pain locally or radiate to other parts of the body. They’re often caused by:
Repetitive strain or overuse
Muscle injury
Poor posture or stress
Conditions like fibromyalgia or myofascial pain syndrome
A trigger point injection involves a small amount of medication — usually a local anesthetic and sometimes a corticosteroid — delivered directly into the tight muscle knot. This relaxes the muscle, increases blood flow, and reduces inflammation and pain.
How the Treatment Works
Here’s what you can expect during your Trigger Point Injection session:
01
Evaluation
Dr. Kumar will locate the painful trigger points during your physical exam.
02
Sterile Injection
A small needle delivers the medication directly into the trigger point.
03
Immediate Relief
Many patients feel improvement within minutes.
04
Short Recovery Time
You can return to normal activity the same day, with minor soreness at the injection site.
05
Ongoing Care
A series of injections may be recommended for long-term pain control, paired with therapy or stretching.
