Trigger point injections
Fast, Localized Relief from Muscle Pain, Tension & TMJ

What Are Trigger Point Injections?

Trigger point therapy consultation at Express Med Spa Mount Greenwood with clinician and patient
Trigger points are tight bands of muscle that cause pain in localized or referred areas (like the neck, back, or jaw). When physical therapy and massage don’t fully resolve them, Trigger Point Injections (TPIs) can be a fast, effective next step.
A small amount of anesthetic or anti-inflammatory medication is injected directly into the tight muscle, causing it to relax and relieving the associated pain.
Common issues TPIs treat:
  • Neck & upper back tension
  • TMJ and jaw clenching
  • Tension headaches
  • Fibromyalgia flares
  • Myofascial pain syndrome
  • Shoulder stiffness

How the Procedure Works

Consultation

We assess your muscle tension, trigger points, and health history

Precision Mapping

Our clinicians identify your pain sources through palpation and clinical feedback.

Injection

We administer a localized injection (often lidocaine) to disrupt the pain cycle.

Relief

Muscle fibers relax, circulation improves, and function is restored.
Most clients feel significant improvement within 24–48 hours.

“I had an amazing experience with Kristina at Express Med Spa in Shorewood! She did my lip injections and Botox, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Kristina was so friendly, professional, and easy to work with. She took the time to listen to my concerns and made sure I was comfortable throughout the entire process. She was also very responsive, answering all my questions promptly. Overall, a fantastic experience, and I highly recommend Kristina to anyone looking for top-notch services!”

“I went to the Mt. Greenwood location and I couldn’t be more happier! I walked in super nervous since it was my first time and walked out feeling so pleased with the service. Hayley was the nurse who did my injections and she was so amazing! She made me less nervous and talked me through every step she was doing! So grateful for my first time experience and would DEFINITELY go back again!”

This is a self-pay service. Pricing is transparent and affordable.

Do I need multiple sessions?

Some do great with one visit; others benefit from a short series. We guide you based on your relief.
