Trigger Point Therapy

Targeted Relief for Muscle Pain and Tension

Trigger point therapy is a treatment designed to relieve muscle knots, tension, and referred pain patterns that develop when muscles become overworked or inflamed.

At ME! Wellness & MedSpa in Fort Collins, we use precise injections to release tight trigger points and help restore normal muscle function. This treatment can significantly reduce pain, improve range of motion, and support faster recovery.

Trigger points are small areas of tight muscle fibers that can cause localized pain or send discomfort to other parts of the body. Many people describe them as “knots” in the muscle that do not resolve with stretching or massage alone.

Common Conditions Treated

Trigger point injections may help relieve pain associated with:

• Neck and shoulder tension
• Tension headaches and migraines
• Upper and lower back pain
• Muscle spasms
• TMJ-related muscle tension
• Sports or overuse injuries
• Chronic muscle tightness

How Trigger Point Therapy Works

During the treatment, a small needle is used to deliver medication directly into the tight muscle band.

This helps:

• Relax the muscle fibers
• Reduce inflammation
• Improve blood flow
• Interrupt pain signals
• Restore normal movement

Many patients experience rapid relief and improved mobility following treatment.

What to Expect

Trigger point therapy is a quick in-office procedure that typically takes 10–20 minutes.

Your provider will:

• Identify the tight trigger points
• Clean the treatment area
• Perform targeted injections into the affected muscle

Mild soreness at the injection site can occur but usually resolves within 24–48 hours.

Benefits of Trigger Point Therapy

• Fast pain relief
• Improved mobility
• Reduced muscle tension
• Supports recovery from injury
• Can reduce reliance on pain medications

For many patients, trigger point therapy works best when combined with stretching, strengthening, and lifestyle support to prevent recurrence.

• Persistent muscle knots
