We offer Trigger Point Injection therapy to provide effective relief from neck pain.
What Are Trigger Point Injections?
Dunedin Medical & Aesthetics Clinic offers advanced Trigger Point Injection therapy to provide effective relief from neck pain originating from the cervical region. Neck pain can be debilitating, affecting daily activities, sleep quality, and overall quality of life. Our experienced clinicians specialise in targeted treatments designed to release muscle tension, alleviate pain, and promote healing. Whether your neck pain is due to stress, muscle strain, or chronic conditions, our team is here to help.
Trigger point injections are a pain relief treatment where a small amount of anaesthetic and, in some cases, a corticosteroid is injected directly into specific trigger points within the muscles. These trigger points are often areas of muscle tightness that can cause radiating or referred pain, including neck and upper back pain. Trigger point injections for the cervical region focus on addressing pain sources around the upper spinal area to provide targeted relief and release muscle tension.
Conditions That May Benefit from Trigger Point Injections
Trigger point injections are suitable for those experiencing:
-
Chronic neck pain originating from the cervical region
-
Muscle tightness or spasms that don’t respond to other treatments
-
Headaches related to muscle tension
-
Myofascial pain syndrome affecting the neck and shoulders
Our team assesses each patient's unique condition to ensure that trigger point injections are a suitable option for effective pain management.

What to Expect During Your Trigger Point Injection Appointment
At Dunedin Medical & Aesthetics Clinic, our trigger point injection treatments are performed in a safe and comfortable environment. During the procedure, a fine needle is used to administer the injection directly into the identified trigger points. This process typically takes only a few minutes, and most patients experience minimal discomfort. Relief may be felt within hours or over the next few days as muscle tension is alleviated.
Our clinicians provide detailed aftercare instructions and follow-up support to ensure the best possible results from each treatment.
