Trigger Joint Injections

Trigger Joint Injections

Trigger point injection (TPI) may be an option for treating pain in some patients. TPI is a procedure used to treat painful areas of muscle that contain trigger points, or knots of muscle that form when muscles do not relax. Joint Injection is a procedure involving a diagnostic and therapeutic injection into the sacroiliac or other joints. Anti-inflammatory steroid medication and local anesthetic provide short or long-term pain relief. Patients with pain caused by arthritis, injury, or strain of the sacroiliac joint or other joint are good candidates for the procedure. The procedure usually takes 10 to 20 minutes to perform.
