Trigger Point Injections

Relief for Stubborn Muscle Knots

When Muscle Tension Needs More Attention

Sometimes muscle discomfort settles with rest, stretching, or changes in activity. Other times, a sensitive area of tightly contracted muscle persists, creating a painful knot known as a trigger point.

Trigger point injections at Concierge Wellness Center offer a focused way to address these areas when appropriate. By evaluating where your discomfort begins and how it affects surrounding movement, your physician can determine whether an injection may be a useful part of your treatment.

Focus on the Painful Area

A Direct Approach to Muscle Discomfort

Why We Offer It

Trigger points can be surprisingly disruptive. A small, tight area of muscle may remain tender and can sometimes contribute to discomfort beyond the immediate location.

When conservative approaches have not provided enough improvement, a trigger point injection gives your physician another way to address the affected muscle directly. Treatment is recommended according to the individual concern rather than simply injecting any area that feels sore.

Who Is It For

Trigger point injections may be considered for patients with localized muscle knots or tender areas that remain painful, restrict comfortable movement, or contribute to ongoing muscular discomfort.

Not every type of muscle pain comes from a trigger point. An evaluation helps distinguish a localized muscular concern from symptoms that may require a different approach or further investigation.

How Does It Work

After locating the trigger point through a physical examination, your physician carefully places a small needle into the affected area. Medication may be administered depending on the treatment being performed and your individual needs.

Targeting the specific area can help interrupt the cycle of muscle tightness and discomfort. The number of areas treated varies, so your physician will determine the appropriate approach based on what is found during your evaluation.

What to Expect from Your Care

The procedure is generally brief and performed during an office visit. You may feel pressure or a quick pinching sensation as the needle reaches the targeted muscle, and the area may feel temporarily tender afterward.

Your physician will provide guidance for the period following treatment, including any recommendations regarding activity. How quickly you notice a change can vary depending on the severity and duration of your muscle discomfort and how your body responds.

Release Persistent Tension

Help Comfortable Movement Feel More Natural

By concentrating treatment on a specific source of muscular discomfort, trigger point injections may provide another option when a stubborn area continues to interfere with movement or daily activities.

Precise Muscle Treatment

The injection is directed toward an identified trigger point rather than treating a broad area without first locating the source of tenderness.

Reduced Muscle Tightness

Addressing a contracted, painful area may help the affected muscle relax and feel less restricted.

Improved Comfort With Movement

When persistent muscle tension eases, certain movements and everyday activities may become more comfortable.

Minimal Interruption

Trigger point injections can be performed in the office without surgery or an extensive recovery period.

Always a great experience! My wife and I have been thrilled with the entire team at Concierge Wellness. Dr Choi's support team is super efficient, friendly and responsive. They have even called our pharmacy to speed things up. Great service! And Dr Choi has been amazing. As I've started exploring longevity, Dr Choi has gone way beyond offering the basics of medical care -- he discusses issues in depth and has really helped learn about the details.

I followed Dr. Catherine Nguyen-Ward to her concierge practice without hesitation, and I’d do it again in a heartbeat. Not only is she exceptionally well-versed and competent across many areas of medicine, but, most importantly, she listens. I mean, she really listens. She understands what’s wrong almost immediately and takes decisive action to get you well, fast. No guesswork. No unnecessary, endless visits or lab work that lead nowhere. She is incredibly smart and truly a rare kind of physician in this day and age. In a healthcare landscape that often lacks compassion and is filled with rushed, impersonal, and ineffective care, she stands out as exceptional. In this town, she is simply unmatched. Finding her a few years ago, was a game-changer.

Both experiences (last Wednesday,11/19/2025’s being my initial meeting) with Dr Ward could not have been more satisfactory. The circumstance was an emergency situation that could have gone quite differently. Dr Ward and all the office crew came through swiftly, professionally, and skillfully-everything I’ve come to expect from Dr Choi and his team. I cannot speak more highly of the care they afforded me. I think they earned TEN stars out of five!

I have lived in Las Vegas since 1980. I was lucky enough to find a good doctor early on, and stayed with him for about 5 years, until he retired. After that, it was hit and miss for a number of years. Luckily, I was young and healthy, so an annual visit to a doctor was all I needed. As Vegas grew, finding a good doctor became more difficult. Too many people, not enough doctors to go around. I remember sitting in one doctor's crowded waiting room for more than an hour past my appointment time. And when I asked for the flu shot, the main reason I was there, she said she did not have any. A member of her staff had forgotten to put them in the fridge, and all had to be tossed out. Luckily a few years ago, my neighbors told me about Dr. Choi. I was unfamiliar with the concept of concierge medicine, but it makes so much sense. There is no crowded waiting room full of sick people, and my time with the doctor is not rushed. He sees me on a regular basis throughout the year. Two years ago, I developed a serious condition related to long term use of Fosomax. Although it was a dental issue, Dr. Choi is the one I immediately turned to for help. He prescribed a treatment that has stabilized my condition to this day. We are so lucky to have Dr. Choi in Las Vegas.

Any Questions?

Can trigger point injections be repeated?

They may be repeated when medically appropriate, but treatment frequency should be determined individually. Your physician can assess how you responded to the previous injection and whether repeating treatment makes sense for your condition.

How are trigger point injections different from joint injections?

Trigger point injections target painful areas within muscle tissue, while joint injections are directed into or around a joint to address certain joint-related concerns. Your symptoms and examination help your physician determine which approach, if either, is appropriate.

How long can relief from trigger point injections last?

Response varies from person to person. The cause and duration of the muscle tension, the area treated, and other contributing factors can all affect how long improvement may last.

How many trigger point injections might I need?

The number can vary according to how many trigger points are identified, where they are located, and how you respond to treatment. Some patients may need treatment of a single area, while others may have several areas that warrant attention.

What types of muscle pain can trigger point injections address?

Trigger point injections are intended for certain localized areas of tight, tender muscle. They are not appropriate for every source of muscle pain, which is why an examination is important before treatment is recommended.

What happens if trigger point injections do not relieve my muscle pain?

Ongoing symptoms may indicate that another factor is contributing to your discomfort. Your CWC physician can reassess the area and determine whether further evaluation, another treatment approach, or referral for additional care may be appropriate.
