At ArtMedica, Dr. Skura is dedicated to providing effective treatments for individuals struggling with chronic muscle pain caused by trigger points. Trigger points are painful “knots” in the muscles that can develop due to tension, stress, or trauma, often leading to discomfort and restricted mobility. Located in Chicago, IL, ArtMedica offers trigger point injections as a minimally invasive treatment to help alleviate pain and improve your quality of life.
What are Trigger Point Injections?
Trigger point injections are a medical treatment designed to relieve pain and tension in muscles affected by trigger points. These injections involve delivering a local anesthetic, a corticosteroid, or botulinum toxin directly into the trigger point to relax the muscle and alleviate pain. In some cases, a local anesthetic alone may be used. This treatment helps reduce muscle tension and restore functionality, making daily activities more comfortable.
Benefits of Trigger Point Injections
Trigger point injections are considered a safe and effective treatment for chronic muscle pain. By addressing the root cause of the pain, these injections can provide significant relief and improve mobility in the affected area. Patients often experience an enhanced range of motion, reduced muscle stiffness, and improved overall functionality.
Treatment Areas
The Trigger Point Injection Process
Trigger point injections are performed in-office and typically take only a few minutes to complete. During the procedure, Dr. Skura locates the trigger point through a physical examination and injects the medication directly into the affected muscle. Patients often feel immediate relief or notice improvement in the following days. The treatment requires minimal downtime, allowing you to resume your daily activities shortly after the procedure.
