Cortisone for Trigger Point Injections
What Are Trigger Points?
Trigger points are tight 'knots' in muscle fibers. They can result from muscle overuse, injury, poor posture, or stress.
Common symptoms include:
Localized muscle tenderness
Pain that radiates to other areas
Muscle stiffness or limited movement
What Is Cortisone?
A corticosteroid medication reduces inflammation and helps calm irritated muscle
tissue.
In trigger point injections, cortisone is:
Combined with a local anesthetic (e.g., lidocaine)
Injected directly into the trigger point
Designed to reduce inflammation, break the pain cycle, and restore mobility
Benefits of Cortisone Trigger Point Injections
Fast Pain Relief: Often felt within 24-72 hours
Reduced Inflammation: Helps muscles heal more efficiently
Improved Movement: Less pain allows for better range of motion
Complements Other Treatments: Works well alongside chiropractic care, stretching, or physical therapy
What to Expect During the Procedure
1. The skin is cleaned and disinfected.
2. A small needle delivers a mix of cortisone and anesthetic into the trigger point.
3. The injection usually takes just a few minutes.
4. You may feel temporary numbness or soreness at the site.
Aftercare & Possible Side Effects
Aftercare:
Apply ice for 10-15 minutes if soreness occurs
Avoid strenuous activity for 24 hours
Possible Side Effects:
Mild soreness or bruising at the injection site
Temporary numbness or tingling
Rare: infection, skin color changes, or allergic reaction
Is It Right for You?
Cortisone trigger point injections can be an effective solution for persistent muscle pain that hasn't improved
with other treatments.
PRP Injections
What is PRP Therapy?
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy is a cutting-edge treatment that uses your own blood to stimulate healing in injured or degenerative tissues.
A small amount of blood is drawn, spun in a special centrifuge to concentrate the platelets, and injected into the injured area to accelerate repair and recovery.
Benefits of PRP Therapy
100% natural – uses your own cells
Non-surgical and minimally invasive
Stimulates tissue regeneration
Helps reduce pain and inflammation
Conditions PRP Can Help
Tendonitis (tennis elbow, golfer's elbow)
Ligament sprains
Knee pain (meniscus tears, arthritis)
Shoulder injuries (rotator cuff, bursitis)
Plantar fasciitis
Chronic joint pain
Sports injuries
How the PRP Process Works
Blood Draw – Just a small tube of your blood
Centrifugation – Platelets and growth factors are separated
Injection – Concentrated PRP is injected into the injured area
Recovery – Healing begins as your body regenerates new tissue
