What Happens During Trigger Point Treatment?
Prior to trigger point injections your XBody Health, Wellness & Spa provider reviews your medical history and examines areas of your body associated with tension and pain. They let you know if you’re a good candidate for the procedure.
During trigger point injections, Your practitioner inserts a tiny needle into areas of tight muscle fibers, under ultrasound guidance. The procedure is fast, taking just a few minutes to complete. It’s virtually painless, but you might feel a slight pinch during needle insertion.
