Frequently Asked Questions About Trigger Point Injections

  • How do trigger point injections help with headache pain? These injections help reduce pain on two levels. The injection itself is administered to trigger points, which are bunches of tense soft tissue that are responsible for pain and headaches. The act of injection releases these trigger points. The contents of the injection also reduce pain.
  • What is in the injections? There is a local anesthetic to instantly act upon the area and an anti-inflammatory steroid to reduce pain in the long term
  • How long does a session take?  A typical session will last about 15 minutes and is an outpatient, non-invasive procedure
  • How long do they last after?  The pain relief can last for several days and even months. If the trigger point was the cause of your headaches, your headaches may disappear for good
  • How long is recovery?  You probably will not need a formal recovery period, but you may experience temporary soreness or bleeding at the injection site. If these side effects arise, they typically disappear quickly.
