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.

I was very impress with Matt's approach on assessing my Mom's ankle. As a senior she finds it hard to communicate what she feels and was very nervous to see him. However, Matt's gentle and respectful approach, quickly put Mom at ease. He listened actively to what she had to say, provided great advice and guided her through exercises. I will definitely be taking Mom to see Matt again!read more

I’ve seen two physiotherapists and one specialist for a diagnosis and treatment of my torn meniscus, but none of them took the time to thoroughly examine and explain my injury and treatment options, like Ian did. I highly recommend him—he’s extremely knowledgeable.read more

Went to Ian for physio and he has been patient, professional, helpful, and knowledgeable. He sends me home with progressive exercises to do and evaluates the pain each time I’ve come in to make sure we are addressing the root cause of the issue. Great service and front staff is friendly and helpful too - I highly recommend Ian and this clinic!read more
