Trigger zone steroid injections are minimally invasive treatments used to relieve muscle pain and spasms in the back and neck. These injections target specific “trigger points” — tight knots in the muscles that cause localised pain and may radiate to other areas.
This treatment is highly effective for patients experiencing persistent muscle stiffness and discomfort that does not respond to medication or physiotherapy. Dr. Kavita Poply offers a precise and patient-focused approach to trigger zone injections, helping patients achieve fast and long-lasting relief.
What are Trigger Zone Steroid Injections?
Trigger zone injections involve delivering a combination of a local anaesthetic and a corticosteroid directly into painful muscle knots (trigger points).
The goal is to relax tight muscles, reduce inflammation, and interrupt pain signals, allowing improved movement and comfort.
Conditions Treated
This procedure is commonly used for:
- Back muscle spasms
- Neck muscle spasms
- Myofascial pain syndrome
- Chronic muscle stiffness
- Tension-related pain
- Pain due to poor posture or overuse
Symptoms That May Require This Treatment
You may benefit from trigger zone injections if you experience:
- Localised muscle pain or tightness
- Pain that worsens with movement
- Tender knots in muscles
- Reduced range of motion
- Pain radiating from the neck or back
- Limited relief from medications or physiotherapy
