Trigger points are tight bands of muscle fibers that contract and fail to release, often causing localized pain or referred discomfort. By injecting a small amount of solution directly into the knot, the muscle relaxes, blood flow improves, and pain signals are reduced—allowing natural healing and mobility to return.

Relief Where You Need It Most
Reduce muscle tension and restore mobility with targeted trigger point injections.
At Renova Total Health, we offer Trigger Point Injections (TPIs) as part of our integrative approach to pain and mobility. These simple, in-office treatments target knots of muscle that won’t release on their own—helping reduce discomfort, improve range of motion, and support a more active lifestyle.

The Trigger Point Injection Process at Renova Total Health
CONSULTATION
Your provider identifies areas of muscle tightness, reviews your symptoms, and determines whether TPIs are right for you.
TREATMENT
A small amount of anesthetic (sometimes combined with a corticosteroid or saline solution) is injected directly into the trigger point, helping the muscle release.
RESULTS
Many clients feel immediate relief, while others notice gradual improvement over a few days. Regular treatments, when combined with stretching and lifestyle support, can help reduce recurrence.
