What Are Trigger Points?
Trigger points are hyperirritable, tight bands of muscle fibers — often called muscle “knots” — that can cause localized or referred pain. They often develop in the upper back, shoulders, and neck, especially in individuals with chronic musculoskeletal conditions or high-stress lifestyles.
At Complete Medical Wellness, we provide effective trigger point treatment in NJ, including injections, therapy, and massage to relieve pain and improve mobility.

How Is Trigger Point Treatment Performed?
At CMW, we offer multiple evidence-based treatments for trigger points, performed in a comfortable and relaxing setting. These options may be used individually or in combination, depending on your condition.
Treatment Options
Physical Therapy
Gentle stretches and strengthening exercises to release tension and restore flexibility.
Medical Massage
Manual pressure techniques targeting specific trigger zones to improve circulation and release muscle knots.
Trigger Point Injections (TPI)
A small needle is used to inject a local anesthetic — and sometimes a corticosteroid — directly into the trigger point. This procedure:
- Interrupts pain signals
- Reduces inflammation
- Allows the muscle to relax
- Can offer immediate and long-lasting relief
The skin is numbed prior to injection, making the procedure well-tolerated by most patients.
