Trigger Point Injection Without Ultrasound
Alleviate muscle pain with trigger point injections. Dr. Ralph Rogers uses this technique to provide relief from myofascial pain syndrome by injecting medication directly into trigger points, which are painful knots in muscles.
What is it?
A trigger point injection involves injecting a small amount of anaesthetic or corticosteroid into trigger points. This method reduces pain and inflammation, improving muscle function and flexibility. Unlike some injections, this procedure is performed without ultrasound guidance.
A clinic appointment for a trigger point injection includes a thorough assessment of the painful area, followed by the precise administration of the injection into the identified trigger points. Dr. Rogers ensures accurate placement of the injection for effective pain relief.
