Trigger Point Injections for Back and Shoulder Pain

The actual trigger point in your back or shoulder may be as large as a walnut or as small as a pea. You can identify it as a trigger point by feeling the knot and noticing deferred pain (pain in another area) when it is pressed. The muscle will likely also spasm or twitch when even light pressure is applied.

Relief from your shoulder pain and back pain could be just around the corner. The effects of the trigger point injections last up to several weeks or longer, during which time other treatments can be completed to offer long-term relief through resolving the underlying cause of the pain. The injection allows the knotted muscle to relax, restoring blood flow and allowing normal fluids back into the area.

While conventional medicine usually uses muscle relaxers, painkillers, or botox injections to “treat” trigger points in the back or shoulder, these can have other side effects or even lead to dependence on the substance. If there is an all-natural, drug-free, non-surgical route to getting out of pain, wouldn’t you rather take advantage of that?
