Trigger Point Injections are a minimally invasive treatment designed to relieve chronic muscle pain, stiffness, and inflammation caused by tight bands or “knots” within muscles. Performed by experts like Andrew H. Messiha, MD, Double Board Certified in Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine, these injections deliver local anesthetics or corticosteroids directly into the trigger points to relax the muscles, improve mobility, and reduce discomfort. Commonly used for conditions such as fibromyalgia, tension headaches, myofascial pain syndrome, and back or shoulder pain, trigger point injections offer fast relief with minimal downtime. For patients whose pain does not respond to medications or physical therapy, this procedure provides a safe, effective, and lasting solution to restore quality of life.
