Adjunct Pain Management Injections
Adjunct pain management injections are used to help reduce inflammation and muscle-related pain associated with certain musculoskeletal conditions. These treatments are used selectively as part of a comprehensive care plan to support recovery and improve function.
Our on-site nurse practitioner offers targeted injection therapies when appropriate to help patients manage pain and progress with treatment.
What Are Pain Management Injections?
Pain management injections involve the use of specific medications to help reduce inflammation or muscle irritation in targeted areas.
These injections are not intended as a stand-alone solution, but rather as a supportive treatment to help improve comfort and allow for more effective rehabilitation and recovery.
Common Uses
Adjunct injections may be considered for:
Muscle-related pain and tension
Trigger points
Acute inflammation
Pain that is limiting progress with treatment
Certain spine and joint conditions
They are used based on clinical findings and individual patient needs.
Types of Injections
Depending on the condition, treatment may include:
Trigger point injections
Anti-inflammatory injections
Local anesthetic-based injections
The specific type of injection is determined based on the patient’s symptoms and clinical presentation.
What to Expect
Treatment begins with an evaluation to determine whether injections are appropriate. A referral is not needed. We do not bill insurance for these treatments, which allows you to get the care you need when you need it most.
If recommended:
The injection is performed in a clinical setting by our certified nurse practitioner
The area is cleaned and prepared
Medication is administered into the targeted tissue
The procedure is typically quick and well tolerated.
A Supportive Treatment Approach
Adjunct injections are used in combination with other treatments such as chiropractic care, soft tissue therapy, and rehabilitation exercises.
By reducing pain and inflammation, injections may help patients move more comfortably and respond more effectively to treatment.
When to Consider Injections
You may benefit from adjunct injections if you are experiencing:
Persistent muscle pain or tightness
Pain that is limiting movement
Symptoms that have not improved with conservative care alone
Acute flare-ups of musculoskeletal pain
Treatment decisions are always based on individual evaluation.
