For Carson City, NV patients
What is Trigger Point Injections — and how it helps Carson City patients
Trigger-point injections release the tight, painful knots in muscle tissue that don't let go with massage or stretching alone. A small amount of local anesthetic is injected directly into the trigger point, which deactivates the knot and lets the surrounding muscle relax — often providing relief that lasts long after the anesthetic wears off.
Carson City patients with chronic neck, upper-back, and shoulder pain — especially desk workers and drivers — often have a handful of repeat-offender trigger points that flare every few months. We map them on your first visit and only inject the ones that are actively driving symptoms.
Most appointments take 15–20 minutes and you walk out the door. There's usually some local soreness for a day or two, then a noticeable drop in baseline tension. We pair injections with movement and posture coaching so the same knot doesn't keep coming back.
Injections are never our only tool. If you're getting them somewhere else every month with no plan to graduate you out of them, that's a red flag worth asking about.
