Trigger Point Injections in Long Island, NY
NYSHIP-Covered Pain Management in New York
Struggling with chronic muscle pain in your back, neck, or limbs? Trigger Point Injections (TPIs) provide physician-guided, targeted treatment for painful muscle knots that haven’t responded to conservative care. We accept NYSHIP for eligible members across New York.
What Are Trigger Point Injections?
Trigger Point Injections are a minimally invasive procedure performed by a medical provider. A small amount of medication is injected directly into a tight muscle band, commonly called a “trigger point.”
Depending on your needs, treatment may include:
- Lidocaine (local anesthetic)
- Sarapin (non-narcotic injectable solution)
Ultrasound guidance may be used when treating deeper or complex areas.
Trigger Point Injections are designed to:
- Relax tight muscle fibers
- Reduce localized pain
- Improve movement and flexibility.
- Support functional recovery
Conditions Commonly Treated
- Myofascial pain syndrome
- Chronic low back pain
- Neck pain and tension headaches
- Shoulder, arm, or leg pain
