Trigger Point Injections (Trap Tox)
Trigger point injections, commonly referred to as Trap Tox, are specialized treatments designed to relieve muscle tension and pain caused by tight, knotted muscles known as trigger points. These injections target the trapezius muscles and other areas of muscle tension, releasing the knots and providing significant relief from discomfort. Trap Tox involves injecting small amounts of Botox or another agent into the trigger points to relax the muscles and improve movement, alleviating pain and reducing tension.
What to expect during your treatment?
During your trigger point injection treatment, the affected area will be identified. After identifying the problem areas, it will be injected a small amount of Botox or a similar agent directly into the muscle knots. The process is quick, typically lasting around 10-15 minutes, and causes minimal discomfort. You may experience slight soreness after the injection, but this usually subsides within a day or two. Results can take a few days to become noticeable, with lasting relief for several weeks to months, depending on your condition and response to treatment.
