What are Trigger Points?
Trigger points are localized tender spots in the
muscles often detected as lumps or knots.
Trigger points form when a muscle is injured, or
overly tense. Chronic inflammation in the muscle
and physical/emotional stress all contribute to
knots and formation of scar tissue which may be
helped with TPIs (trigger point injection).
Trigger points can also form through time by the
process of wear and tear on the muscle. Trigger
points occur when normal, perpendicular muscle
fibers get tangled and distorted out of their
uniform pattern. Trigger points are felt as a
taut band of inflamed muscle fiber and are
painful when pressed.

What Happens during Trigger Point Injection?
In the TPI procedure, our health care
professional inserts a small needle into the
patients trigger point. The injections at our
clinic contain a local anesthetic called
Lidocaine or completely natural Sarapin. With the
injection, the trigger point is made inactive and
the pain is alleviated. The advantage of the
natural plant botanicals like Sarapin is that
they have a history of over 70 years of
demonstrated safe, nontoxic usage, they are not
drugs and have no known side effects and are
non-toxic. Read complete study at

When is Trigger Point Injection (TPI) Used?
TPI is used to treat many muscle groups,
especially those in the neck, upper back, rotator
cuff and lower back. It can also be used for
tendonitis, bursitis or joint pain in the arms
and legs. In addition, TPI can be used to treat
fibromyalgia and tension headaches. TPI also is
used to alleviate myofascial pain syndrome
(chronic pain involving tissue that surrounds
muscle) that does not respond to other
treatments. Visit our website

How Long Does it Take to Heal?
We have found that a person responds much quicker
when TPIs are done in conjunction with
acupuncture treatments. This has been found to
yield better results than with TPI or acupuncture
alone. Injections are performed at Pinnacle
Integrative Health and usually take just a few
minutes. Several sites may be injected in one
visit. It depends on the individual case, some
peoples pain will resolve after their first
visit, but usually it will take 8-12 visits.
