Advanced Treatments for Myofascial Trigger Point Pain

When pain medications and relaxation techniques aren’t enough, there are treatment options that can help. Divergent offers are a variety of procedures at our Calgary Clinic to treat trigger points discomfort:

Trigger Point Injection Therapy

Trigger Point Injection Therapy

Trigger point injections involve the direct administration of medication into the area. This helps to alleviate pain and reduce inflammation in the affected muscle. The injection also disrupts the cycle of muscle spasms and contractions associated with trigger points, promoting relaxation and improved blood flow to the area.

Medical Management

Medical Management

Medical management uses medications to reduce inflammation, muscle spasms, and pain. Additionally, trigger point injections, which may include anesthetics or corticosteroids, can provide targeted relief by directly addressing the muscle knots. Physical therapy and other supportive treatments, such as ultrasound or electrical stimulation, are often integrated into the management plan to enhance the overall effectiveness and prevent recurrence.

What is Myofascial Pain?

Myofascial pain is characterized by trigger points—sensitive spots in the muscle that are painful to touch and can cause discomfort in other parts of the body. These trigger points can form in any muscle and can lead to widespread pain.

These knots of muscles are created when muscles are unable to relax, which irritates surrounding nerves and causes pain. They commonly form because of an injury, repetitive stress, or a musculoskeletal disorder.

Signs and symptoms of myofascial pain syndrome may include:

  • Localized Pain: dull ache, stabbing sensation, or deep discomfort in a specific area of the body
  • Referred Pain: discomfort that radiates to other areas of the body, distant from the actual trigger point
  • Tender Knots: small, tender nodules within the muscle tissue that are sensitive to touch
  • Muscle Stiffness: muscles may feel tight, stiff, or tense
