Trigger Point Injections
What is Kinesiotherapy?
Trigger Point Injections (TPI) are minimally invasive pain management procedures used to treat painful trigger points within muscles.
Trigger points are tight, sensitive knots in muscle tissue that can cause localized pain as well as referred pain in other parts of the body. These injections help relax the affected muscle, reduce pain, and improve mobility.
Trigger Point Injections are commonly used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan for chronic muscle pain and myofascial pain syndrome.

- Improving mobility and flexibility
- Restoring muscle function
- Enhancing participation in rehabilitation
- Improving quality of life
Treatment Process
Trigger Point Injections are usually performed as outpatient procedures.
- Clinical examination and identification of trigger points
- Skin preparation and local disinfection
- Injection of medication into the trigger point
- Short observation period following treatment
The procedure typically takes between 10 and 20 minutes.
Who Can Benefit?
Trigger Point Injections may be suitable for:
- Patients with Myofascial Pain Syndrome
- Individuals with chronic muscle pain
- Patients with persistent muscle spasms
- Individuals with neck, shoulder, or back pain
- Patients who have not responded sufficiently to conservative treatments
Recovery and Rehabilitation
Most patients can return to normal activities on the same day or within 24 hours.
For optimal long-term results, treatment is often combined with:
- Exercise therapy
- Stretching programs
- Manual therapy
- Dry needling
- Postural correction
- Functional rehabilitation
Combining injections with rehabilitation helps prevent trigger points from recurring.
