Muscle Strain Treatment

Initial treatment often involves:

• Physical Therapy: Tailored exercises to strengthen the affected muscles, improve flexibility, and relieve pain.
• Medications: Anti-inflammatories and pain relievers to manage symptoms during recovery.

For persistent or severe cases, we provide advanced interventional treatments, including:

• Trigger Point Injection: This treatment is highly effective for reducing inflammation and pain associated with muscle strain. The injections target specific areas of muscle tightness, breaking up painful knots and relieving strain-related discomfort, which can restore mobility and alleviate localized pain.
• Radiofrequency Ablation: For chronic and severe muscle pain, radiofrequency ablation is a useful treatment because it can provide lasting relief. This method involves using heat generated by radio waves to target specific nerves that are causing pain, essentially disabling these nerves and preventing them from sending pain signals to the brain.
• Lumbar Facet Injections: For muscle strain around the lower back, lumbar facet injections can provide targeted pain relief by reducing inflammation in the surrounding muscles. By injecting a small amount of anesthetic and steroids into the area, this treatment addresses strain-related pain and promotes better mobility.

To enhance the effectiveness of our treatments, we recommend certain lifestyle changes such as:

• Maintaining a healthy weight to reduce strain on the spine

• Adopting ergonomic practices in daily activities

• Regular physical exercise to strengthen back muscles and improve overall spinal health
