What are trigger point injections in Bentonville AR?

Trigger point injection is a procedure used to treat the areas of muscle that are in pain and contain trigger points or knots of muscle that are created when muscles cannot relax. It is possible to feel these knots under the skin. It is fairly common that trigger points irritate the nerves around them and cause a pain that is felt in another part of the body, known as referred pain. Our Bentonville AR team has found that some patient complaints respond very well to this form of treatment.
