2What 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.
3What 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 natural agent called 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 are not drugs and have no
known side effects and are non-toxic.
Corticosteroids are more potent for more severe
pains but have multiple side-effects. The trigger
point injection will stimulate healing as the
circulation is increased into the deeper layer
muscle fibers and they can once again return to a
uniform pattern.
4How 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 East West
Acupuncture 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. - Read More http//acueastwest.com/trigger-point-in
