Treatment

Trigger Point Injections

Trigger points are tight, irritable bands of muscle that refer pain across the neck, shoulders, and back. A precise injection releases the knot and breaks the pain cycle — often on the first visit.

What the visit looks like

1. 1

   Dr. Iyer palpates the muscle to locate the exact trigger point.

2. 2

   A small needle delivers local anesthetic into the band; several points can be treated in one visit.

3. 3

   The visit typically takes under 15 minutes.

Recovery & results

Soreness for 24–48 hours is normal, followed by looser, quieter muscle. Stretching and physical therapy help keep trigger points from reforming.
