Trigger point injections are treatments for trigger points, also called muscle knots. A trigger point is a tight band of muscle tissue that may irritate or inflame nearby nerves, causing localized or referred pain (pain that’s felt in another area of the body).
When left untreated, a trigger point may develop scar tissue, affecting muscle movement and range of motion.
