Contact UsWhat Are Trigger Point Injections?
The Sleep Apnea and Craniofacial Pain Center of Pennsylvania offers trigger point injections for temporomandibular joint disorders for a targeted approach to relieve discomfort caused by muscle tension and knots in the jaw area. These injections are specifically designed to break up the trigger points contributing to discomfort caused by habits like grinding or clenching teeth. While these trigger points may sometimes remain dormant without causing symptoms, their activation can lead to intense muscle pain. To find out if you may be a candidate for this innovative treatment, contact our Reading, PA office to schedule an appointment today.
How Does Trigger Point Injection Work?
Trigger point injections can help reduce pain and relax muscles, especially in muscle groups that can radiate pain to other areas of the neck, head, and shoulders. The procedure involves directly injecting small amounts of anti-inflammatory medication and anesthetic into inflamed, painful, tense, sore, or stiff muscle groups. This targeted approach provides relief by addressing the specific areas causing discomfort. Several treatment sessions are often recommended for optimal results. The frequency and number of sessions needed will vary, depending on the individual's condition, and are often spaced about a week apart.
The Sleep Apnea and Craniofacial Pain Center of Pennsylvania Reviews
Dr. Sulzbach helped me with my sleep apnea and snoring. My wife is so much happier now!
I have had the luck and the pleasure of seeing Dr. Salzbach on several occasions. An extremely knowledgeable and professional, who truly does care about his patients. He takes the time to explain options, procedures to you in a way that you've understand and is very up front. I would highly recommend anytime to anyone.
Dr. Sulzbach and Corrine Lambert were amazing in taking care of my sleep apnea needs. I can’t wait to see how much improvement there is with the new device.
I have sleep apnea and felt awful for years. Just constantly tired. I can't wear the cpap. I tried but I just hate the thing. Dr Steve made a dental appliance and I am sleeping through the night without even snoring for the first time in probably 20 years. He's really laid back but straight to the point.
I have been going to Dr. Steve for years. He is a competent and wonderful dentist. It is a shame what Harrisburg tried to do to him. I guess when they need a scape goat to further their agenda they don't care who they try to hurt in the process. Rest assured he is by far the best dentist I have ever gone to and goes beyond the standard of care!
