Injections at Central Medical Center
Trigger points are discrete irritable spots located in the muscle that produce pain locally and at times in a "referred pattern" meaning pain affects neighboring areas. This can feel like knots of tense muscle and is associated with tension headaches, fibromyalgia, and acute injury.
​
Trigger point injections use local anesthetic and other medications injected into the muscle to deliver pain relief at the source of the irritation. This procedure is performed in minutes and can be long-lasting with the right course of treatment.
​
Joint injections for knee and shoulder injuries including ligament tears, tears to the meniscus and arthritis use local anesthetics and often steroids to decrease inflammation and fluid. These injections are safe and can cause long-lasting relief. When paired with rehab therapy, results can sometimes prelude surgery and allow patients to return to their active lifestyle.
