Trigger point injections are a targeted treatment for myofascial trigger points — hyperirritable spots within skeletal muscle that can cause localized pain and referred pain to other areas of the body. These points are often felt as firm nodules or “knots” within the muscle tissue. When conservative approaches have not provided sufficient relief, trigger point injections may be considered as a direct intervention.
At Oakland Lifestyle Medicine, injections are administered by trained medical providers. The procedure involves inserting a small needle directly into the trigger point, which may help disrupt the contracted muscle fibers and reduce associated pain.
Trigger point injections are used for pain in a variety of muscle groups, including:
Many patients with fibromyalgia, myofascial pain syndrome, or chronic muscle tension explore trigger point therapy as part of a broader pain management strategy. Our team reviews each patient’s condition and history before proceeding with this treatment.
Trigger point injections can be paired with Dry Needling, Chiropractic Care, or Physical Therapy as part of a comprehensive treatment plan.

I recently fell and hurt my right knee, I sprained my meniscus and have a lateral fraction on the bone. I am a long time patient of Dr. Dean and he did SHOCK WAVE therapy on my knee. OMG, the next morning I woke up and it felt like a brand knee. No pain at all.Joann Williams May 7, 2026

Love this AMAZING Team! I could hardly walk when I went in. Doctor Jon & Laurens' massage did most of the cleanup. Walking again. Thank you to all!Tina Maurice May 6, 2026
Met Dr.Christophe Dean decades ago at an Ice Skating Arena our daughter was competing at, after she landed on her tailbone and was in significant pain. Dr Dean was so caring, supportive, and willing to help with her injury almost immediately! Our Family has been seeing Dr Dean for decades and we wouldn’t trust any other Chiropractic or Wellness Center with our “painful old joints”, or our teen athletes sports injuries, which he and his son, Dr J Dean have also made feel at ease and comfortable when helping them recover from their injuries as well as important stretching exercises to help them strengthen their bodies to help reduce further injuries 👍MAGGIE MAE April 29, 2026
