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.

Went to Ian for physio and he has been patient, professional, helpful, and knowledgeable. He sends me home with progressive exercises to do and evaluates the pain each time I’ve come in to make sure we are addressing the root cause of the issue. Great service and front staff is friendly and helpful too - I highly recommend Ian and this clinic!read more

Hands down on my best Physio experience. Fixed many long lasting problems here with very few visits, especially with Matt, bro was able to loosen my shoulders like they’ve never been relaxed my entire life. I kept moving them around after the session for the rest of the day because I have not felt them move like this for a very long time.read more
