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.

Mary is by far the best physiotherapist I have met. She always takes time to listen to my concerns and treat them in the same visit. Thank you Mary!read more

Excellent. Asked questions, listened, clear answers and instructions, obtained relevant information (ie. Xray reports). Supportive. Inspired confidence that I will be able to regain function ( elbow fracture, tricep tendon repair).read more

Dr. MJ Atkins was Awesome. My knee pain was easily taken care of with a pain free Cortisone shot. Would recommend. He was friendly, explained everything including alternative’s and even followed up the next day to see how I was doing, which in all my years has never happened anywhere else.read more

Today I took my 90 year old mother in for an assessment of her back pain and a treatment plan. She has lost mobility and quality of life the past year and is grief stricken after the loss of her son. The front staff were friendly, helpful and organized. The Doctor was kind, professional and knowledgeable, taking the time to answer all of our questions. We were able to book a second appointment the following week for an ultrasound and cortisone treatment. With hope she will have less pain and be able to mobilize more easily so we can walk her to the garden were she used to sit with her son.read more

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
