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 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.

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 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.
