ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses injection of trigger points as a technique for treating the increased muscle tension and pain that is caused by trigger points. As such, trigger point injection is one of several “body work” techniques that have been shown to be effective in treating myofascial pain. Other techniques include acupressure, vapo-coolant spray with stretching, myofascial release, reflexology, acupuncture, aromatherapy and chiropractic adjustment.
