Are you struggling with deep "muscle knots" that just won't go away?
When a muscle fails to relax, it can create a highly sensitive trigger point that irritates surrounding nerves and causes radiating pain. At New York Pain Medicine, we offer Trigger Point Injections (TPI)—a quick, minimally invasive treatment that delivers localized relief directly to the source of your pain.

By rapidly reducing acute muscle spasms and chronic inflammation, TPI breaks the cycle of chronic pain so you can comfortably engage in a long-term recovery plan like physical therapy.

Ready to find relief from chronic muscle knots and stiffness? Contact New York Pain Medicine today at 212-245-7900 to schedule a consultation with Dr. Douglas Allen and their Midtown East team. Let them help you treat the root of your pain and recover your best life—call today to get started!
