What Are Trigger Point Injections (TPI)?

Trigger Point Injections (TPI) are injections into specific areas of the body using a hypodermic needle and local anaesthetic to relieve tight, painful muscles and can also help calm irritated nerves (often called Neural Therapy).

What is the difference between Trigger Point Injections (TPI) and Dry Needling or Intramuscular Stimulation IMS?

TPI is similar to dry needling or IMS – very fine needles are used during the procedure which produce a minimal amount of discomfort when penetrating the skin.

As the needle approaches the target area a muscle twitch response is elicited which usually results in a reduction of muscle tightness and pain. By releasing these tight muscle areas, it can also relieve pressure on irritated nerves.

The secretaries and Dr. Atkins are friendly, informative and helpful. I am really grateful for the two appointments I have had this month to help with my left knee pain. It was especially helpful to be able to see in the ultrasound (and on a skeletal model) where the problem is exactly in my knee. I trust the cortisone shot I had today will lessen the pain. Thank you!read more

Matt is very knowledgeable. I have an issue with my elbow and hand and he treated it very thoroughly. It feels better the day after treatment than it has for almost a year. I would rate Matt as the best physio i have ever been to. Highly recommended!! Staff were very kind and pleasant as well.read more

Mary Wong Colebrook is an absolute delight. From the first time I met with her for vestibular therapy, she demonstrated her expertise in the field. She was able to resolve my vertigo in the initial session. As it is a recurring ear crystal issue, she's has told me not to suffer with it and she will make ever effort to squeeze me in as soon as possible. She is a wonderful therapist and person!read more
