The treatment of the trigger point injection is usually taking place in the clinic of the medical specialists. The health care professional injects the needle of trigger point injection into the painful area of the patient. The injection consists of saline, anesthetic, and corticosteroid. If the patient has an allergy to certain drugs, doctors inject this injection without any medications.
Assessment
The time that took by trigger point injection comprises of few minutes. After taking the injection, the trigger point becomes lethargic, and the muscle pain reduces slowly. Some people prefer to inject more than one injection to their painful sites in a single treatment, and others only choose to take one injection at a time.
The results of this injection start to appear very soon. People get relief in one to two days after taking the injection. The people who take trigger point injections are usually suggested by the doctors to take rest for some days to get excellent results.
