Trigger Point Injection Treatment in Arizona
Relieving Muscle Pain
with Precision Care
Muscle pain can be more than just an occasional discomfort—it can persist, limit movement, and interfere with daily activities. Many cases of chronic neck, shoulder, and back pain are caused by tight knots in the muscles, known as trigger points. These irritated areas can cause local pain or even refer discomfort to other parts of the body, making diagnosis and treatment crucial for long-term relief.
What Are Trigger Point Injections?
Trigger point injections work by delivering a small amount of medication directly into the irritated muscle knot. This helps reduce inflammation, relieve tension, and stop the pain cycle that keeps muscles in a persistent state of contraction. The procedure is quick and performed in-office, often bringing immediate relief with minimal discomfort.
While trigger point injections are commonly used for the neck, shoulders, lower back, and legs, they can also help relieve pain in other areas affected by myofascial pain syndrome, tension headaches, and fibromyalgia. By releasing tight muscle bands, these injections restore flexibility and allow for more effective physical therapy and rehabilitation.
How Do Trigger Point Injections Help?
Trigger points develop when muscles become overly tight due to stress, injury, poor posture, or repetitive movements. These tight knots can restrict blood flow and nerve function, leading to ongoing pain and discomfort. By injecting a local anesthetic or anti-inflammatory medication into the affected area, trigger point injections help:
For some patients, additional therapies like chiropractic care, physical therapy, or massage therapy may be combined with injections to enhance results and prevent recurrence.

A few questions you might have for us
Who Can Benefit from Trigger Point Injections?
Patients suffering from chronic muscle pain, tension headaches, or fibromyalgia often find significant relief with trigger point injections. This treatment is especially helpful for individuals who have tried other therapies, such as massage or physical therapy, but still experience persistent muscle tightness and discomfort.
If you frequently feel tight knots in your muscles, struggle with stiffness, or experience pain that radiates from certain areas, trigger point injections could be the solution you need to break the cycle of muscle pain and regain comfort.
What to Expect During the Procedure
A trigger point injection is a quick and straightforward procedure performed right in our office. First, the provider identifies the exact location of the trigger point through a physical examination. Once located, a small, thin needle is used to deliver the medication directly into the tight muscle band. The injection itself only takes a few seconds, and most patients experience immediate relief or gradual improvement over the following days.
Following the procedure, patients are encouraged to stay active and gently stretch the treated area to maintain mobility and prevent the muscle from tightening again. There is little to no downtime, and most patients resume normal activities immediately after treatment.
Is my treatment covered by Health Insurance?
Generally yes if you have health insurance. We participate in most major commercial insurance plans. We understand that, in these difficult financial times, there may be costs to treat you that are known as co-insurance, co-pays, deductibles and other costs and, at Comprehensive Pain Management, we understand this. If you are concerned about costs, please let us know. We will do everything in our power to help you evaluate and manage your costs and help you obtain the treatment you need.
