What Is Trigger Point Injection Therapy?

Whether you have suffered an injury while out being active or have chronic muscle tension from sitting at your computer all day, this simple 15-minute therapy unwinds stubborn muscles and gets you back to the activities you love.

You will notice an immediate decrease in pain, with improvements in strength, mobility, and range of motion—even if you have tried acupuncture, chiropractic, or soft tissue work with minimal relief.

Trigger point injection therapy is a safe, natural, and effective treatment for both acute and chronic pain. Patients recover from sports injuries, bulging discs, sciatica, sprains, migraines, and much more.

How Trigger Point Injection Therapy Works

The Injection

Dr. Storm uses a 5% dextrose solution, often in combination with vitamins like B12, B6, B-complex, and lidocaine, injected precisely into the affected muscle tissue.

Unlocking the Knot

Trigger point injections work by unlocking areas of tight, knotted muscles and bringing new healing blood flow and nutrients to compromised tissues. Unlike massage, chiropractic, and PT, this approach works from the inside out.

Targeted Precision

Dr. Storm is able to very precisely isolate a muscle that has become tight and knotted in order to untie it at the source, producing results that surface-level treatments simply cannot reach.

Questions About Trigger Point Injections in Seattle

What is injected during trigger point therapy?

Dr. Storm uses a 5% dextrose solution, often in combination with vitamins like B12, B6, B-complex, and lidocaine. The solution is selected based on your specific symptoms and goals.

Is trigger point injection therapy right for me?

If you have experienced injury, muscle tightness, headaches, migraines, or lasting pain and discomfort that has not resolved with other treatments, trigger point injection therapy is an effective option for lasting relief. A complimentary consultation with Dr. Storm is the best way to determine whether it is the right fit for your situation.

How is trigger point therapy different from massage or chiropractic?

Massage, chiropractic, and physical therapy work on the surface of the tissue. Trigger point injections work from the inside out, allowing Dr. Storm to precisely isolate a knotted muscle and release it at the source. This is why many patients see results from trigger point therapy after other treatments have plateaued.

How many sessions will I need?

For best results, we recommend a series of six appointments spaced one week apart to start. Most patients notice 15 to 30% lasting improvement per treatment. Dr. Storm will give you a clear recommendation based on your specific pain history and goals at your consultation.

Can trigger point therapy be combined with other treatments at RISE?

Yes. Trigger point injections pair well with prolotherapy, PRP therapy, and Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for patients dealing with more complex or longstanding pain. Dr. Storm will advise on the combination that makes the most sense for your situation.

When is the right time to come in?

Sooner is always better, but it is never too late. Trigger point therapy can be used immediately after an injury to decrease pain and speed healing, during a current headache or migraine for instant relief, or to achieve lasting resolution of chronic pain or old injuries. It meets you wherever you are in your pain journey.
