What are the side effects of trigger point injections?

Answer 1

Usually you will have pain at the injection site. Sometimes inflammation from the medicine. Trigger point injections can be useful for pain.

A less invasive method is a chiropractic technique where they use the principle of trigger point injections, but they use a special instrument that does not penetrate the body. I've enclosed a link where you can find a chiropractor who specializes in this treatment in your area.

Answer 2

Injection Site soreness is the most common side effect. In rare occurrences, allergic reaction to the injectable (procaine)

Instead of trigger point injection, Might I suggest:

Neuromuscular therapy is based on the same principle of Trigger Point injections without the skin penetration.

Answer 3

I had several of them before my spinal surgery, the only side effect would be the injection site may be sore. In my case they didn't work for more that 48 hours.
