MIGRAINE AND TRIGGER POINT THERAPY

Do you suffer from debilitating migraines? Do you sit all day at a computer and find that your shoulders won't stop aching? Trigger Point Injection, or TPI for short, is a quick and simple procedure that can improve pain in very specific tender regions of muscle and tendon, called trigger points. Some of these trigger points can be a major contributing factor in migraines, as well. A very small needle is used to inject a small amount of a local anesthetic agent into the region, along with needle work to break up the tension. While some people experience improvement after one session, multiple sessions are sometimes needed to fully treat the area. Benefits can be maximized if the injection is performed just before getting a massage with one of our Licensed Massage Therapists, followed by a chiropractic adjustment with one of our four chiropractors at Arctic Chiropractic East.
