We evaluate each patient thoroughly with a personal history and physical exam and specialized laboratory analysis, as needed.
Trigger Point Injection Therapy is a nonsurgical treatment for damaged ligaments that relieves musculoskeletal pain. An irritant solution is injected into areas where ligaments are weak, triggering the body to heal the injury and thereby naturally strengthen the joint. Joints weakened when ligaments and tendons are stretched, torn, or fragmented, become hypermobile and painful. Traditional approaches with anti-inflammatory drugs and surgery often fail to stabilize the joint and relieve pain permanently. Trigger Point Injection Therapy is a recognized orthopedic procedure that stimulates the body's natural healing processes to strengthen joints weakened by trauma or arthritis.
The response to treatment varies from individual to individual, and depends upon one's healing ability. Some people may only need a few treatments while others may need 10 or more. The average number of treatments is 4-6 for an area treated. Once you begin treatment, Dr. Bo can tell how you are responding and give you a more accurate estimate.
Note: It is best to avoid the use of caffeine, alcohol, and anti-inflammatory drugs during Trigger Point Injection Therapy; they may reduce its effectiveness and/or increase the number of treatments required to achieve the results.
