Trigger Point Injections of Cellular Therapy and Stem Cells
Trigger Point Injections of Cellular Therapy and Stem Cells
At DrStemCellsThailand‘s Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine Center of Thailand, we utilize trigger point injections of Cellular Therapy and Stem Cells for Musculoskeletal Diseases and Orthopedic Conditions as a targeted approach to treat various musculoskeletal conditions such as Joint Disorders (Osteoarthritis (OA), Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), Post-traumatic Arthritis), Cartilage Damage (Chondromalacia Patellae, Focal Cartilage Defects, Osteochondral Lesions), Ligament and Tendon Injuries (Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Tears, Rotator Cuff Tears, Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis), Golfer’s Elbow (Medial Epicondylitis), Achilles Tendinitis/Tears, Plantar Fasciitis), Bone Disorders (Osteonecrosis; Avascular Necrosis, Bone Fracture Nonunions and Delayed Healing, Stress Fractures, Osteoporosis, Rickets and Osteomalacia), Spine Conditions (Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD), Herniated Disc, Facet Joint Syndrome, Spinal Stenosis, Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS)), Muscle Injuries (Muscle Strains and Tears, Myopathies), Inflammatory and Autoimmune Conditions (Bursitis, Tendinitis), Other Orthopedic Applications (Meniscus Tears of Knee Joints, Labral Tears of Hip or Shoulder Labrum, Patellar Tendinopathy (Jumper’s Knee), Trochanteric Bursitis of Hip, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome of Wrist, Adhesive Capsulitis (Frozen Shoulder)), Sports-Related Injuries (SRI). This technique allows for localized delivery of therapeutic agents directly into trigger points, promoting healing and reducing pain.
Overview of Trigger Point Injections
Definition:
Trigger point injections involve the administration of medication or therapeutic agents into specific areas of muscle tissue known as trigger points. These points are hyperirritable spots that can cause pain and discomfort in the surrounding areas.
Purpose:
The primary goals of trigger point injections are to:
- Alleviate pain
- Reduce muscle tension
- Improve range of motion
- Enhance the effectiveness of Cellular Therapy and Stem Cells for Musculoskeletal Diseases and Orthopedic Conditions
Techniques Utilized for Trigger Point Injections
Ultrasound Guidance:
- Ultrasound imaging is used to visualize the trigger points accurately, ensuring precise needle placement for optimal results.
Palpation Technique:
- The clinician identifies trigger points through physical examination and palpation, allowing for targeted injection into the affected muscle.
Combination Therapy:
- Trigger point injections may be combined with other treatments, such as local anesthetics, corticosteroids, or Cellular Therapy and Stem Cells, to enhance pain relief and promote healing.
Injection of Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs):
- MSCs are injected directly into trigger points to promote muscle regeneration and repair, leveraging their regenerative properties.
Use of Biologics:
- In addition to Cellular Therapy and Stem Cells, biologics such as growth factors may be included in the injection to further stimulate healing processes in the affected area.
Benefits of Trigger Point Injections
- Localized Treatment: Directly targets areas of muscle tension and pain without systemic side effects.
- Enhanced Efficacy: Improves the delivery and effectiveness of Cellular Therapy and Stem Cells by placing them closer to the site of injury.
- Minimally Invasive: Offers a less invasive alternative to surgical interventions while providing significant pain relief.
- Improved Functionality: Aims to restore normal muscle function and reduce discomfort during daily activities.
