Trigger Point Injections

If you’ve ever had a sudden muscle spasm, or that nagging "knot" that won’t go away, this could be caused by a trigger point(s). At Pure Health Aurora, our exceptional team can ease that pain with a trigger point injection. Trigger Point Injections can help by relaxing the affected muscle and promote restoring movement and blood flow. Call our office conveniently located in Aurora, Illinois, to schedule a trigger point evaluation, or if you have any questions. In many cases we can offer same day treatments. You can also conveniently request an appointment through our online booking at any time. 

Does a trigger point injection treat other conditions? 

Myofascial pain syndrome occurs when muscle pain caused by trigger points turns into a long-lasting (chronic) condition.  

People with fibromyalgia (widespread muscle pain and severe fatigue) often develop trigger points. Trigger point injections are crucial treatments for both conditions. 

What happens during a trigger point injection? 

At Pure Health Aurora, our team will clean the area of skin at and around the trigger point. Your provider marks the areas to be injected.  After isolating the trigger point using their fingers a small needle will be used to insert into the identified “knot” or trigger point. Your provider will then insert and slightly withdraw the needle without fully removing it from the muscle, repeatedly needling the nodule until it relaxes, then while the needle is still inserted our team will inject the medication directly into the trigger point.  

At Pure Health Aurora, we often combine trigger point therapy with other services like manual therapy and electric stim to ensure the greatest degree of comfort and sustained results.  

Trigger point injections are in office procedures, and you can immediately go about your routine daily life following this procedure.  

Our goal with trigger point therapy is to relax the knotted area of tissue, promote soft tissue healing, restore more ideal muscle tone, increase mobility, and make other therapies more tolerable while restoring function.
