If you suffer from persistent orofacial pain, relief may be closer than you think. Our dentist and team offer trigger point injections as a targeted treatment option to alleviate discomfort associated with muscle tension and facial pain. This noninvasive approach can help relieve pain, reduce muscle tightness and improve your overall quality of life.
How Trigger Point Injections Work
Trigger points are sensitive areas within muscles that can become tight and painful, often causing discomfort in the jaw, head, neck and surrounding areas. These trigger points may also contribute to headaches or jaw pain. Trigger point injections are designed to target these specific areas, helping to alleviate the tension and discomfort caused by the tightness in the muscles.
The injection typically contains a local anesthetic, which numbs the area and provides immediate pain relief, while also allowing the muscle to relax. This relaxation promotes better blood flow and healing to the affected areas, offering both short-term and long-term relief for patients experiencing chronic orofacial pain.
Benefits of Trigger Point Injections for Orofacial Pain
When dealing with orofacial pain, finding effective relief is essential. Some of the key benefits of trigger point injections include:
- Rapid relief from discomfort in targeted areas
- Reduced muscle tightness and inflammation
- Improved range of motion and flexibility
- Noninvasive treatment with minimal downtime
- Long-term management of chronic pain conditions
For individuals who struggle with orofacial pain, trigger point injections can be an effective tool in managing symptoms and improving daily function.
