For some patients experiencing pain, trigger point injections (TPI) from our clinic in Champlin may be an option. When appropriate, TPI is a procedure used at Team Health Care Clinic in Champlin to treat painful areas of muscle that contain trigger points, or knots of muscle that form when muscles do not relax. In many cases the knots of muscle are so pronounced they can be felt under the skin. Pain is caused when trigger points irritate the nerves around them.
How Our Care Plan Works
1. Body
Misalignment = Miscommunication = Misery. Pain, tightness, poor posture, inflammation—it’s all your body screaming for help. When the spine is off, your nervous system can’t work right. We realign the body through chiropractic, physical therapy, and acupuncture to get you moving, healing, and living again.
2. Brain
Your brain controls every cell, organ, and system in your body. If the brain-to-body connection is blocked—even slightly—you feel it: pain, fatigue, brain fog, anxiety. Most doctors miss this. We don’t. We restore the brain’s ability to run the show—so your body can finally heal. Because when your brain fires right, your whole body functions better. And when that connection is restored, everything changes.
3. Chemistry
Your Gut Talks to Your Brain—Loudly . 80% of your brain’s neurotransmitters come from your gut. If your digestion, blood sugar, or hormones are off, your brain will suffer. We use advanced functional medicine to fix the chemistry behind your symptoms—because supplements and meds aren’t enough when the root is still there.
What is involved in a trigger point injection?
In the TPI procedure in Champlin, one of the Team Health Care providers will insert a small needle into the patient’s trigger point. The injection contains a local anesthetic or saline. The injection renders the trigger point inactive and the pain is usually alleviated. In most cases a brief course of treatment results in sustained relief. In some cases, several sites may be injected in one visit.
Trigger point injections are used in many applications
TPI treatments in Champlin are used to treat many different muscle groups. These muscle groups can be located in the arms, legs, lower back and neck.
