Unlock the Secret to Lasting Relief from Chronic Muscle Pain: Trigger Point Injections at NorCal Pain Treatment Center in Lodi
If you've been dealing with those stubborn, nagging muscle knots that won't go away, you're about to discover a game-changing solution that could finally relieve your pain.
I'm talking about trigger point injections - a proven, minimally invasive treatment that's helping people across Lodi and the surrounding area reclaim their active lives with significantly reduced pain.
At NorCal Pain Treatment Center's office in Lodi, a team of pain management experts is using this targeted approach to address the root cause of chronic muscle pain. The results have been nothing short of life-changing.
What Exactly Are Trigger Points (And Why Do They Cause So Much Pain)?
To understand how trigger point injections work, we first need to dive into what trigger points are and why they're such a common source of muscle pain.
A trigger point is an area within a muscle where the fibers have become stuck in a contracted, hyperirritable state. This creates a hard, palpable knot or nodule that's extremely sensitive to touch.
These trigger points cause pain at the site but can also refer pain to completely different areas of the body. That's why those nagging neck or shoulder aches might originate from trigger points in your upper back.
Some of the most common problem areas for trigger points include:
Neck and shoulders
Upper and lower back
Hips and glutes
Headache/migraine zones
The reason trigger points are so stubbornly persistent is that standard therapeutic approaches like massage, stretching, and pain medication can't address the underlying muscle dysfunction. The fibers remain stuck in that contracted state, continuing to cause pain.
How Trigger Point Injections Provide Lasting Relief
This is where trigger point injections come in as a true game-changer.
The experts at NorCal Pain Treatment Center's Lodi office use a precise injection technique to deliver a specialized medication directly into the trigger point. This medication, which typically contains a local anesthetic like lidocaine, works in two key ways:
It interrupts the pain signals sent from the trigger point, providing immediate relief.
It helps relax and "reset" the contracted muscle fibers, finally allowing them to release their grip.
The procedure takes 10-15 minutes, and most patients report noticing a noticeable difference within hours. The full benefits will emerge over the next few days as inflammation subsides, and the muscle regains its normal function with significantly reduced discomfort.
