What Are Trigger Point Injections (TPI)?
Trigger Point Injections (TPI) are injections into specific areas of the body using a hypodermic needle and local anaesthetic to relieve tight, painful muscles and can also help calm irritated nerves (often called Neural Therapy).
What is the difference between Trigger Point Injections (TPI) and Dry Needling or Intramuscular Stimulation IMS?
TPI is similar to dry needling or IMS – very fine needles are used during the procedure which produce a minimal amount of discomfort when penetrating the skin.
As the needle approaches the target area a muscle twitch response is elicited which usually results in a reduction of muscle tightness and pain. By releasing these tight muscle areas, it can also relieve pressure on irritated nerves.

I'd tried physio for the first time at another practice a few months ago and left very underwhelmed. A friend peer-pressured me into giving it another go with their practitioner, Mary Wong Colebrook.. what a difference. Took the time to explain what was going on with my back, laid out a plan as to how we're going to remedy it, used every minute of my appointment. Highly recommended.read more

Prior to today (1 year ago) I had a number of visits with Ian regarding a hip injury and found him to be very thorough in treating the injury and taking the time to explain how the treatments and exercises were going to help me.Today was my first visit for another injury and Ian was great in describing the possible reasons for my problem and his thoroughness in his first treatment and also his concern and direction in telling me to contact my doctor to order up some exams to make sure some of his concerns were looked into further.Thanks Ianread more
