Trigger point injections using lidocaine and/or neuromodulators in areas like the trapezius, neck, and head can be a game-changer for those dealing with orofacial pain including: headaches, migraines, and TMJ/jaw pain.
Lidocaine is a local anesthetic that helps numb the area of the injection, providing immediate pain relief. When injected into trigger points in the trapezius, neck, and head, lidocaine can help calm the overactive nerves causing pain and tension in these areas. This can lead to quick relief and relaxation of the affected muscles.
Neuromodulators, such as botulinum toxin (commonly known as Botox), can also be used in trigger point injections for orofacial pain. When injected into trigger points, neuromodulators work by blocking the release of chemicals involved in muscle contraction, effectively relaxing the muscle and reducing pain. This can be particularly beneficial for chronic pain conditions and muscle spasms.
When used together, lidocaine and neuromodulators in trigger point injections offer a powerful combination for targeting and treating orofacial pain. The lidocaine provides immediate pain relief, while the neuromodulators work to address the underlying muscle tension and dysfunction, providing longer-lasting benefits.
These injections can help patients manage their orofacial pain more effectively, improve their quality of life, and restore their ability to enjoy daily activities without being hindered by pain.
