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.

This was the most thorough exam and explanation of my Achilles injury I have ever had. Mary was amazing with her knowledge and I finally feel pointed in the right direction to healing and stabilizing my balance. I have been over compensating making myself more prone to further injury. This clinic is THE place for rehab and therapy. The staff was friendly and welcoming. I could not be more impressed with Mary Wong Colebrook. I give this whole experience an A++.read more

First time here working with Ian. I appreciated the thorough assessment and noting of history. He repeatedly told me that the goal was not to create pain, “loading without overloading” and the separation of exercises into strengthening and stretching…very reassuring and motivating to work on the exercises he outlined and communicated to me in writing. I am looking forward to my having decreased pain and sensitivity.read more
