  • Trigger Point Injection Therapy

    Trigger point injection (TPI) therapy is a procedure where a needle is inserted into a muscle's trigger point to relieve pain.

    These trigger points are tight knots in muscles that can cause pain both locally and in other areas of the body. The injection, often containing a local anesthetic, aims to relax the muscle and reduce pain.

  • Not at all! We care for patients of all ages and activity level. In Sports Medicine, we aim to treat joint/muscle (orthopedic) problems without surgery. From patients with tendon pain to those with arthritis, sports medicine is perfect for those wanting to avoid more agressive treatments.

  • Often patients receive injections from their primary care doctor. These contain steroids and are often done without ultrasound guidance.

    In Sports Medicine, injections are administered with direct visualization of the joint so we can be certain the medicine is being delivered to the correct spot. In addition, there are also more advanced medicines available for injection in a Sports Medicine clinic.
